Ed=change in quantity÷change in price×price÷quantity

Change in quantity=5–4=1

Change in price=120–100=20

20÷1×4÷100=0.8

No the supply is not elastic. It is inelastic because price elasticity of supply is less than one

whenever, the Price elasticity of supply is less than 1 that means the situation is inelastic. Meaning it is harder for suppliers to adapt quickly to the price changes.

In conclusion: The PES = 0.8 which is inelastic meaning the price change will not have a major impact on the quantity supplied.
