Elasticity of Supply

Elasticity of Supply:

The law of supply states us that quantity supplied will react to a modification in price. The notion of elasticity of supply elucidates the rate of change in supply as an outcome of change in price. It is evaluated by the formula illustrated below:

Elasticity of supply = (Proportionate change in quantity supplied)
                                      (Proportionate change in price)
       
 ep = (?qs/ qs) / (?p / p)

Here,
q symbolizes the amount supplied,
p symbolizes price,
? symbolizes a change.

Elasticity of supply might be stated as “the degree of receptiveness of change in supply to modify in price on the portion of sellers”
