LAW OF SUPPLY
According to the law of supply, the higher the price, the larger quantity produced.

CHANGES IN QUANTITY SUPPLY AND
MOVEMENTS ALONG THE SUPPLY CURVE
- Perfect inelastic supply is when the PES formula equals 0. That is, there is no change in
quantity supplied when the price changes.
Unit Elastic Supply
- Unit Elastic Supply has a PES of 1, where quantity supplied changes by the same
percentage as the price change.
Relatively Elastic Supply
- A price elasticity supply greater than 1 means supply is relatively elastic, where the
quantity supplied changes by a larger percentage than the price change.
Relatively Inelastic Supply
- The PES for relatively inelastic supply is between 0 and 1. That means the percentage
change in quantity supplied changes by a lower percentage than the percentage of price change.
Relatively Elastic Supply
- A price elasticity
supply greater than 1 means
supply is relatively elastic,
where the quantity supplied
changes by a larger
percentage than the price
change.
Relatively Inelastic Supply
- The PES for relatively
inelastic supply is between 0
and 1. That means the
percentage change in
quantity supplied changes by
a lower percentage than the
percentage of price change.
