What is Perfectly Elastic Supply? When price falls by Rs.2 per unit, supply falls from 100 units to 80 units. Price elasticity of supply is 2. What was the price per unit before change? Calculate.
Given.
Percentage fall in demand = 20
Initial Price= Rs.10
New Price =Rs.12
% Increase in Price=2/10x100=20%
We know,
Ed=% Change in Denrand / % Change in Price
=-20/20=-1
Now, if price rises from 10 to 13
% Change...

Price decreases and TE increases. It shows inverse relationship between price and total expenditure. So, there is elastic demand or greater than unitary elastic demand.
