Solution
When the supply of a commodity changes without change in its price, the supply of a commodity changes without change in its price, the supply of the commodity will be called perfectly elastic. The value of price elasticity of supply in this case is infinity, es = α. It is purely an imaginary concept and can only be explained with the help of an imaginary supply schedule as given below.
