The elasticity of Supply is an important concept in Microeconomics as it relates to a business's ability to adjust its production and its production facility in response to market developments. Think of some examples of products and businesses that would have various degrees of Elasticity of Supply and share them here.
For example, what would be the Elasticity of Supply for an original piece of art? What does this imply for the adjustment in this market to a change in Demand?
How would you describe the Elasticity of Supply for a product such as peaches, plums, and other tree fruit? Consider first a brief period, such as weeks, and next a much longer period such as five years. How does the time horizon influence market adjustment when there is a change in Demand?
Draw a graph that indicates what happens in the market for hybrid cars when the price of gasoline increases from $2.50 to $5.00 per gallon. Answer the following questions: a) Does equilibrium output rise or fall? b) Does equilibrium price rise or fall? c) Suppose the supply of hybrid cars is perfectly inelastic. Draw a new graph and explain if and how the elasticity of supply changes your answers to parts “a” and “b”.

True or False: Suppose you are advising the Dairy Farmers of Canada on changes in
the milk market. Suppose the current price is $4.5 per gallon of milk and the quantity
demanded is 2.5 million gallons of milk per day. Suppose price elasticity of demand is
constant at 0.7. You are considering reducing the supply, so that the price rises to $5
per gallon. Total expenditure on milk by consumers will rise.

Assume that during the summer, when gasoline demand is high because of vacation driving, gasoline refiners are operating at full capacity. What does this assumption suggest about the price elasticity of supply? In light of your answer to the previous question, whom do you predict would benefit from the temporary gas tax holiday?arrow_forward
- The average ticket price for a concert at the opera house was $30. The average attendance was 5000. When the ticket price was raised to $33, attendance declined to an average of 4700 persons por performance. What should the ticket price be to maximize revenue for the opera house? (Assume a linear demand curve.) To maximize revenue, the price should be $ por ticket. (Type an integer or decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.
