Answer:

the price elasticity of supply is 0.555

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the price elasticity of supply is given below:

= Percentage change in quantity supplied ÷ percentage change in price

= (25 - 20) ÷ (25 + 20) ÷ 2 ÷ (750 - 500) ÷ (750 + 500) ÷ 2

= 5 ÷45 ÷ 250 ÷ 125

= 0.555

Hence, the price elasticity of supply is 0.555

The same is relevant
