When the price of a ball is Rs 10 then 200 cricket balls are produced by the firm in the market. When the price of a ball rises to Rs 30 then 1000 cricket balls are produced in aggregate by the firm in the market. What will be the value of Price elasticity of supply?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Price elasticity of supply es=ΔQΔP×PQe_s = \frac{\Delta Q}{\Delta P} \times \frac{P}{Q}. Here ΔQ=800\Delta Q = 800, ΔP=20\Delta P = 20, P=10P = 10, Q=200Q = 200. So es=80020×10200=40×0.05=2e_s = \frac{800}{20} \times \frac{10}{200} = 40 \times 0.05 = 2.
