Suppose an increase in Demand cause surfboard prices to go up from $350 to $450 each. As a result producers increase quantity supplied from 8,000 to 12,000 boards. Calculate the elasticity of supply using the midpoint method. Is this supply elastic or inelastic?
The price elasticity of demand can be found by: comparing the percentage change in quantity demanded to the percentage change in price. measuring absolute changes in price and quantity demanded. knowing that when price changes, quantity demanded goes in the opposite direction. examining only the slope of the demand curve.
