उत्तर
When the price increases by 50% and the supply increases only by 5% the price elasticity of supply of that commodity will be E1 < 1.
Explanation:
Es = `("Percentage change in quantity supplied")/("Percentage change in price")`
Es = `(5%)/(50%)`
= 0.1
Since Es < 1, the supply is inelastic, meaning the percentage change in quantity supplied is less than the percentage change in price.
