A candle manufacturer produces 4,000 units when the market price is $11 per unit and produces 6,000 units when the market price is $13 per unit. Using the midpoint method, for this range of prices, the price elasticity of supply is about

a. 6
b. 2.4.
c. 0.4
d. 0.67

The option (b) 2.4 is correct.

Explanation:

We can find price elasticity of demand by using the formula shown in the attachment attached with.

Since we know the quantities of product associated with the market price of the product, by putting values in the equation we have:

Price elasticity of Demand =

= [(6000 - 4000) / (6000 + 4000)/2] / [(13 - 11) / (13+11)/2]

Price elasticity of Demand = 2.4

So this is how we can find the price elasticity of supply which says that the producers will respond to prices drop by producing lower quantity of product.
