How might you calculate elasticity of supply?

Elasticity of supply is the amount a price changes based on changes in supply. An elastic good's price will change as the price changes. If the good is inelastic, as the supply of the product changes, the price does not change. Inelastic curves are very straight up and down. Elastic curves are straight horizontally. Elasticity of supply is an important factor for business managers. Business managers want to know how the price they offer for their product will change based on how much they produce.
