We use percentages so it doesn’t matter which unit of measure we are using. The concept of price elasticity also applies to supply. The elasticity formula is the same as that for demand, but we must substitute the word “supplied” for the word “demanded” everywhere in the formula. Just like with price elasticity of demand, we will compute the price elasticity of supply using the midpoint formula.
