Q 10.a | 5 marks

Identify the elasticity of supply (e_s) of S₁, S₂ and S₃ supply curves:

Identify the degree of elasticity of supply from the following graph:

Explain any three factors affecting elasticity of supply.

Identify the elasticity of supply for the following with proper reasoning:

Perishable and durable goods.

Assertion (A): In case of perfectly inelastic supply, supply curve is a vertical straight line supply curve.

Reason (R): Supply does not change with change in price in case of Es = 0.

Draw a straight line supply showing elasticity greater than one.

Price of a product increases by 2%. As a result, its supply rises by 4%. What is elasticity of supply of the commodity?

The coefficient of elasticity of a commodity is 0.4. What percentage change in supply will take place if its price rises 20%?

When there is no change in price, but quality supplied changes, it implies a situation of ______.

Explain the percentage method of measuring price elasticity of supply.
