In Figure $6,$ calculate the long-run price elasticity of supply when price rises from $\$ 4.50$ to $\$ 5.50 .$
If the supply equation is $$ Q=7+0.1 P+0.004 P^{2} $$ find the price elasticity of supply if the current price is 80 . (a) Is supply elastic, inelastic or unit elastic at this price? (b) Estimate the percentage change in supply if the price rises by $5 \%$.
