Explanation Since the producer’s flexibility is one of the important determinant of price elasticity of supply, the digital music can be considered as a good example for elastic supply. It is because, the producers have lots of flexibility over the quantity produced of digital music. If the supply is elastic, then the percentage change in quantity supplied will be greater than the percentage change in price. Hence, the value of elastic supply will be greater than 1...
