2022 SouthWestern Determinants of Price Elasticity of Supply ? Ability of sellers to change the amount of the good they produce. – Supply of beachfront land is price inelastic. – Supply of books, cars, or manufactured goods is elastic. ? Time period. – Supply is more price elastic in the long run. Computing the Price Elasticity of Supply ? The price elasticity of supply is puted as the percentage change in the quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price.

Can good news for the puter industry be bad news for silicon chip makers? ? What happens to chip makers and the market for chips when scientists discover a new material for making chips that is more productive than silicon? THREE APPLICATIONS OF SUPPLY, DEMAND, AND ELASTICITY ? Examine whether the supply or demand curve shifts. ? Determine the direction of the shift of the curve. ? Use the supply and demand diagram to see how the market equilibrium changes.

With a price elastic demand curve, an increase in the price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded that is proportionately larger. Thus, total revenue decreases. Figure 4 H
