Solution
1.5
Explanation:
-
Elastic Supply is characterized by a price elasticity of supply greater than 1. This means that the percentage change in quantity supplied is greater than the percentage change in price.
-
The value 1.5 indicates elastic supply, as it is greater than 1. The other options (0, 0.5, and 1.0) indicate inelastic or unitary elastic supply.
