Advertisements
Solution
- Nature of the commodity: elasticity of supply of durable goods is high but perishables have a low elasticity of supply.
- Cost of production: Under constant or increasing returns the elasticity of supply is greater, under diminishing returns elasticity is less.
- Technical condition In large-scale production, supply cannot be adjusted easily. So elasticity of supply is lesser and vice versa.
- Time factor: During a very short period, supply cannot be adjusted. In a short period, variable factors can be changed so elasticity is more and in a long period, supply is highly elastic.
