In microeconomics, the price elasticity of supply measures how much the quantity supplied of a good changes in response to a change in its price.

If the supply curve for a product is horizontal, then the elasticity of supply is:

The supply of a good will be more elastic when:

The elasticity of supply of product x is unitary if the price of x rises by a certain percentage and the quantity supplied of x:

Supply is said to be ____________ when the quantity supplied is very responsive to changes in price.
