- Suppose there is a 10% increase in the price of apples. In the immediate short run this elicits a 1% increase in the quantity of apples supplied. Calculate the elasticity of supply. Is this elasticity of supply elastic or inelastic? Why do you think this is? Now assume that over a ten year period a 10% increase in the price of apples leads to a 15% increase in the quantity of apples supplied. Calculate this elasticity of supply. Is it elastic or inelastic? Explain the difference in your two measures of elasticity.arrow_forwardThe short run elasticity of demand between palm oil and soybean oil is 0.103. The quantity demanded for palm oil is 10 million metric tonnes at the current price USD 1480 per metric ton of soybean oil. Calculate the quantity demanded of palm oil if the price per metric ton of soybean oil decreases to USD 1400.arrow_forwardThe change in quantity supplied is 60% and the change in price is 40% Calculate the value of elasticity of supplyarrow_forward
- The Teenager Company makes and sells skateboards at an average price of $70 each. During the past year, they sold 4,000 of these skateboards. The company believes that the price elasticity for this product is about -2.5. If it decreases the price to $63, what should be the quantity sold? Will revenue increase? Why.arrow_forwardBlue Co. makes a processor that requires a metal that can only be found in a single mine in Peru. Do you expect the price elasticity of supply for this processor to be elastic or inelastic? Explain in 1-4 sentences.arrow_forwardBaylor Lumber sold 10 ft. long corral gates at $299 per gate last month. They sold 20 gates. This month they raised the price to $349 per gate and sales dropped to 12 gates. What is the own-price elasticity of demand for 10 ft. corral gates at Baylor Lumber using the mid-pointformula? What does this say about the demand for corral gates?arrow_forward
- A producer supplies 400 units of a good at 10 per unit price last elasticity of supply is 2 how many units will the producer supply at 11 per unit.arrow_forwardPrice Elasticity of Demand Problem Business has price elasticity of -1.5 They sold 300 units at $10 each If they cut the unit price by 5% how many units would they sell and what would be the effect on revenue?arrow_forwardSuppose the accompanying table contains data on how many Veggie Delite sandwiches Subway is willing to sell each day at two different prices. Calculate the daily price elasticity of supply when the price increases from $5.00 to $7.50. Please round to the nearest hundredth. Price(per sandwich) Quantity supplied(sandwiches per day) $5.00 200,000 $7.50 210,000 a. Daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches = b. The daily price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is relatively Elastic or Inelastic Now consider how responsive Subway’s supply of Veggie Delite sandwiches is to changes in price on an annual basis instead of a daily basis. c. Compared to the daily value, the annual price elasticity of supply for Veggie Delite sandwiches is likely to be more Inelastic or Elastic and the annual supply curve is likely Flatter or Steeper to be than the daily supply curve.arrow_forward
