Question
Identify the elasticity of supply for the following with proper reasoning:
Primitive and advanced technology.
Solution
In advanced technologies, supply elasticity is greater than 1. Advanced technology enables producers to adapt supplies and reduce costs, leading to increased production. Inelastic supply occurs when a producer uses outdated technology and is unable to adjust supply elasticity.
