O Levels Economics (2281)•2281/12/M/J/18
Question 7 from 2281/12/M/J/18

Explanation

Price Elasticity of Supply Requires Quantity Data

Steps:

  • Price elasticity of supply (PES) = (% change in quantity supplied) / (% change in price).
  • Price rises from 2to2 to 2to4: % change = ((4-2)/2) × 100% = 100% (using initial price).
  • No quantity supplied data is given for either price level.
  • Without quantity change, PES cannot be computed.

Why B is correct:

  • Not enough information to confirm; question lacks quantity supplied details needed for the PES formula.

Why the others are wrong:

  • A: Insufficient data prevents calculation.
  • C: Insufficient data prevents calculation.
  • D: Insufficient data prevents calculation.

Final answer: Not enough information.

Topic: Price elasticity of supply (PES)
