a. What is the formula for measuring the price elasticity of supply? Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in income Percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in income Percentage change in quantity demanded/percentage change in price Percentage change in quantity supplied/percentage change in price Suppose the price of apples goes up from $23 to $24 a box. In direct response, Goldsboro Farms supplies 1,400 instead of 1,000 boxes. Compute the coefficient of price elasticity (midpoints approach) for Goldsboro's boxes of apples supply. Instructions: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Price elasticity
