    1.5% in the short run

    6% in the long run.

    Explanation:

    Given:

    The elasticity of supply in the short run = 0.3

    The elasticity of supply in the long run = 1.2

    Increase in price = 5%

    Computation:

    A. In short-run

    The elasticity of supply in the short run = Percentage change in Quantity / Percentage change in Price

    0.3 = Percentage change in Quantity / 5%

    1.5% = Percentage change in Quantity

    B. In the long run

    The elasticity of supply in the long run = Percentage change in Quantity / Percentage change in Price

    1.2 = Percentage change in Quantity / 5%

    6% = Percentage change in Quantity
