What is the price elasticity of supply formula?


Open in App
Solution

The formula for calculating price elasticity of supply is as follows

Price elasticity of supply, eS = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price

eS = ∆Q/Q × 100 / ∆P/P × 100

= ∆Q/Q × P/∆P

Where ∆Q is the change in the quantity of the commodity supplied to the market place as market cost price changes by P.
