A firm estimates that its price elasticity of supply is + 0.8. Its current level of output is 20,000 units per month. Following a price increase of 10%, we would expect total output to rise to
21500 units
21600 units
22000 units
22600 units
The supply of a good to a market is likely to be more elastic when
Producers are operating close to full capacity
Stock levels are low
The time period required for production is small
Factor inputs cannot be substituted between alternative uses
The diagram below shows an outward shift in the market demand for a product
The price elasticity of supply comparing the original and new equilibrium market price and output is estimated to be
0.5
1.0
1.5
2.0

A product is found to have a price elasticity of supply of + 2.0 If its price falls from £2.00 to £1.50, its supply will
decrease by 25%
decrease by 50%
increase by 10%
increase by 50%
Which of the supply curves illustrated below (A, B, C or D) has an price elasticity of supply greater than +1?
