a. production inputs are readily available at a relatively low cost. Supply is said to be elastic when a small change in prices leads to a greater demand in the quantity of goods supplied. In this case Elasticity is greater than 1

Explanation:

Elasticity of supply measures the extent to which the quantity of a commodity supplied by the producer changes as a result of a little change in the price of the commodity. Elasticity of supply is the degree of responsiveness of supply to little changes in the price of a commodity
