`P.e_(S)=(P)/(Q)xx(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)" or "2.5=(5)/(300)xx(DeltaQ)/(-1)`
`DeltaQ=-150`
`DeltaQ=Q_(1)-Q" or "-150=Q_(1)-300`
`Q_(1)=150`

At Rs.12/unit, quantity supplied of a commodity is 500 units. When its price riese to Rs.15/unit, its quantity supplied rises to 650 units. Calculate

`{:(" P 12"),(" P"_(1)" 15"),(ulbar(DeltaP" 3")):}" "{:("Q 500"),("Q"_(1)" 650"),(ulbar(DeltaQ" 150")):}" "P.e_(S)=(P)/(Q)xx(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP)=(12)/(500)xx(150)/(3)=1.2` Yes, supply is elastic as it is greater than one.

When price of a good falls by 10 percent , its quantity demanded rises from 40 units to 50 units. Calculate price elasticity of demand by the percenta

`E_(P)=(%" change in Qty . Demanded")/(% " change in price")=((10)/(40)xx10)/(-10)=(25)/(-10)=(-)2.5`

At price of Rs. 8 per unit, the quantity supplied of a commodity is 200 units. Its price elasticity of supply is 1.5 . If its price rises to Rs. 10 pe

`E_(s)=(P)/(Q_(s))xx(DeltaQ_(s))/(DeltaP)` `1.5=(8)/(200)xx(DeltaQ_(s))/(2)` `8DeltaQ_(s)=600` `DeltaQ_(s)=75` New `Q=Q_(s)+DeltaQ_(s)=200+75=275` units

Due to a 10 percent rise in the price of a commodity , its quantity supplied rises from 400 units to 450 units. Calculate its price elasticity of supp

`E_(s)=(%"Change in supply")/(% "Change in price ")=((50)/(400)xx100)/(10)=((25)/(2))/(10)=(25)/(10)=1.25` Supply is elastic because `E_(s) gt 1`.

The price elasticity of supply of a commodity is 2. When its price falls from Rs. 10 to Rs. 8 per unit, its quantity supplied falls by 500 units . Cal

`E_(s)=(P)/(Q)xx(DeltaQ)/(DeltaP),2=(10)/(Q)xx(-500)/(-2),4Q=5000,Q=1250` Supply at `Rs 8=Q+ DeltaQ=1250 +(-500)=750` units.

The price elasticity of supply of a commodity Y is half the price elasticity of supply of commodity X. 16 percent rise in price of X results in 40 per

`E_(s) ` of X `=(40)/(16)=2.5` `therefore " "E_(s)` of Y =`2.5 div 2=1.25` `E_(s)` of Y `=(%"change in supply")/(% "change in price")` `1.25=(%"change in supply")/(8)` % change in supply `=8xx1.25=10`...
