SUPPLY
Supply is the willingness and ability of
producers to make a specific quantity of
output available to consumers at a particular
price over a given period of time.
![Page 2: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Law of supply
A decrease in the price of a good, all other things held constant, will cause a decrease in the quantity supplied of the good.
An increase in the price of a good, all other things held constant, will cause an increase in the quantity supplied of the good.
![Page 3: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Supply Determinants Sx = F( Px , Py, Pz,……;P,O,T)
Sx = Amount of good x supplied
Px = Price of good x
Py,Pz = Prices of other goods in the market
P = Prices of factors of production o = Objective of the producer T = State of technology
![Page 4: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Factors on which supply depends
Important shift factors of supply are Changes in the prices of inputs used in production of a good Changes in technology Changes in suppliers expectations Changes in taxes and subsidies Each of these shift factors will cause a shift in supply, whereas a
change in price causes a movement along the supply curve. The major variables other than price are Nature of the commodity Limited supply of inputs Events beyond human control like good/bad harvest, weather
conditions and natural disasters like floods. Government restriction on quantity to be produced .

Elasticity of supply
It is defined as the ratio of percentage change in quantity demanded and the
percentage change change in the price of the commodity. Es = change in quantity Price Change in price Quantity
![Page 6: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Elasticity
The responsiveness of one variable to changes in another
When price rises, what happens to demand?
Demand falls BUT! How much does demand fall?
![Page 7: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Elasticity
If price rises by 10% - what happens to demand?
We know demand will fall By more than 10%? By less than 10%? Elasticity measures the extent to which
demand will change
![Page 8: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Elasticity . . .
… is a measure of how much buyers and sellers respond to changes in market conditions … allows us to analyze supply and demand with greater precision.Journal Question-Name 3 necessities and 3 luxuries that you would buy.

Determinants of Elasticity
Time period – the longer the time under consideration the more elastic a good is likely to be
Number and closeness of substitutes – the greater the number of substitutes, the more elastic
The proportion of income taken up by the product – the smaller the proportion the more inelastic
Luxury or Necessity - for example, addictive drugs

Ed > 1 elastic demand (very responsive
to price changes).
Ed< 1 inelastic demand (not very
sensitive to prices).
Ed = 1 unitary elastic (ratio of %s = 1).
![Page 15: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Price Elasticity of Demand
Price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded given a percent change in the price.
It is a measure of how much the quantity demanded of a good responds to a change in the price of that good.
![Page 16: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Computing the Price Elasticity of Demand
The price elasticity of demand is computed as the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.
Price Elasticity = Percentage Change in Qd
Of Demand Percentage Change in Price
![Page 17: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Determinants of Price Elasticity of Demand
Necessities versus Luxuries
Availability of Close Substitutes
Time Horizon
Weightage in total consumption
Range of usage of good .

Perfectly Elasticity of Demand
In this case, price reduction is not required to increase the quantity demand. ε = α
The producers need not concentrate on price reduction activities to improve the sales if his good comes under the perfectly elasticity of demand.

Perfectly Inelasticity of Demand
In this case, even though the price of commodity decreases, the demand remains the same. ε= ‘0’
The producers need not increase or decrease the price of the commodity to bring change in demand .

Example:
P0 = 8 P1 = 7
Q0 = 40 Q1 = 48
Step 1: Q = 48 - 40 = 8
P = 7 - 8 = -1
Step 2: Use the formula for Ed.

Step 3:
Ed = (Qd / P) * P0 / Q0
= (8 /-1) * (8/40) = - 1.6

Step 4:
This means that for every 1 % change in price that there is a 1.6 % change in quantity demanded in the opposite direction.

Income Elasticity of Demand
Normal goods are divided into luxuries and necessities.
Normal Good – demand rises as income rises and vice versa
YeD mantra… + = normal- = inferior!
![Page 30: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Income Elasticity of Demand
Luxuries are goods that have an income elasticity greater than one.
Their percentage increase in demand is greater than the percentage increase in income.
![Page 31: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Income Elasticity of Demand
Inferior goods are those whose consumption decreases when income increases.
Inferior goods have income elasticities less than zero.
![Page 32: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Income Elasticity of Demand:
Normal Good – demand rises as income rises and vice versa
Inferior Good – demand falls as income rises and vice versa

Income Elasticity and the Demand for Airline Travel
Demand for air travel has a positive income elasticity of demand
The industry is cyclical
During an upturn, demand rises for business and leisure travel)
During a recession, the demand tails away
Income elasticity will vary according to the type of air travel
E.g. difference between low-cost “no-frills” and higher priced scheduled services on low-haul flights

USES OF INCOME ELASTICITY
It is useful in demand forecasting ,When a change in personal
income is expected .
It avoids over or under production.
It helps to define the good as normal or inferior good

Cross- Elasticity of Demand
Cross- elasticity of demand – the percentage change in demand divided by the percentage change in the price of another good.
![Page 45: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Complements and Complements and SubstitutesSubstitutes
• Substitutes are goods that can be used in place of another.
• Substitutes have positive cross-price elasticities.

Complements and Substitutes
Complements are goods that are used in conjunction with other goods.
Complements have negative cross-price elasticities.
![Page 47: Elasticity Ppt](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050720/541595e67bef0a923b8b6b92/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Let us assume that two commodities X ‘n’ Y are related the expression of cross elasticity of demand would be
E xy = ∆qx × py ∆py qx
