Chapter 5, Problem 3.6P
(Price Elasticity of Supply) Calculate the price elasticity of supply for each of the following combinations of price and quantity supplied. In each case, determine whether supply is elastic, inelastic, perfectly elastic, perfectly inelastic, or unit elastic.
a. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 400 units.
b. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied falls from 600 units to 500 units.
c. Price falls from $2.25 to $1.75; quantity supplied remains at 600 units.
d. Price increases from $1.75 to $2.25, quantity supplied increases from 466.67 units to 600 units.
