Question
Identify and define the degree of price elasticity of supply from the diagram for the supply curves S1, S2, S3, S4.

Solution
The supply curves S1, S2, S3, and S4 exhibit various types of price elasticity of supply, which are as follows: The S1 - OS1 supply curve demonstrates Unitary Elastic Supply since the change in the amount supplied is proportional to the change in price. Symbolically, it is expressed as Es = 1.
The S2 - OS2 supply curve demonstrates More Elastic Supply because a little change in price causes a significant change in quantity delivered. Symbolically, it is expressed as Es > 1.
The S3 - OS3 supply curve demonstrates Perfectly Inelastic Supply, which means that a change in price causes no change in supply. Symbolically, it is expressed as Es = 0.
The S4 - OS4 supply curve demonstrates Less Elastic Supply since a change in price results in a modest change in supply. Symbolically, it is expressed as Es < 1.
