The price elasticity of demand is –1.25, and the share of the tax borne by consumers is 0.80. what is the price elasticity of supply?

Relax

Respuesta :

Price elasticity of demand is -1.25 =  Ed

Price elasticity of supply = Es

Share of tax by consumers = 0.80 = Es / (Ed + Es) = Es / Es + 1.25

0.8 Es + 1 = Es

1 / 0.2 = Es = 5

Therefore, the price elasticity of supply is 5
