Open in App
Solution

Es= 1, i.e., unitary elastic at any point on the supply curve if it touches the origin when extended.

Es > 1, i.e., elastic at any point on the supply curve if it touches the Y - axis when extended.

Es < 1, i.e., inelastic at any point on the supply curve if it touches the X- axis when extended.
