Elasticity of Supply: 

Elasticity of Supply Supply is elastic for goods that are: Easy to produce Quick to produce Of easy to find materials Made from existing technology

Elasticity of supply: 

Elasticity of supply Elastic Supply can react to rising demand quickly and easily Inelastic supply cannot react quickly or easily to changing demand. Shortages or surpluses are common.

Examples of Elastic Supply: 

Examples of Elastic Supply Sports memorabilia Holiday decorations School supplies

Inelastic Supply: 

Inelastic Supply Supply is inelastic for goods that are: hard to produce Expensive to produce Time consuming to produce Of difficult to find materials Made from technology that doesn ’ t exist

Examples of inelastic supply: 

Examples of inelastic supply Cars Houses New products Space shuttles

Determinants of Supply: 

Determinants of Supply Factors that cause a brand new supply curve to be created where people supply more or less at the same prices as before.

Determinants of Supply: 

Determinants of Supply Change in number of producers Change in technology Change in government rules (taxes, subsidies, quotas) Change in expectations

Examples…: 

Examples… If there are more producers in the market, more is supplied at each price. Changes in technology generally make it easier and quicker to produce products, so more is produced at each price.

More examples…: 

More examples… Government subsidies encourage producers to produce, so more is produced at each price. Taxes make it more expensive, so less is produced at each price. Quotas reduce the overall supply

Last examples: 

Last examples If producers expect the prices to be higher in the future, they will put off production now. If they expect prices to be lower in the future, they may produce now in order to reap the profits.
