PRICE ELASTICITY OF SUPPLY Price elasticity of supply is a numerical measure of the responsiveness of the supply to a change in the price of the product alone. The supply could be that of a firm or group of firms; it could of course refer of the supply of the overall industry. It is expressed as PES = % change in quantity supply % change in price Since the relationship between the price and quantity supplied is normally a direct one, the PES will tend to take on a positive

(a) Explain how a change in demand for a good in one market can have an effect on the supply of a different good in another market. 1. If the demand for a certain good goes up then it’s supply will go up as well, this leads to more of the raw material needed to produce this good being used thus decreasing availability (in the case that the amount of the raw material is limited) to other goods that may be using this raw material as well.
