  2. Price elasticity of supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_supply

    The price elasticity of supply (PES or E s) is commonly known as “a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity supplied of a good or service to a change in its price.” Price elasticity of supply, in application, is the percentage change of the quantity supplied resulting from a 1% change in price.

  3. Elasticity (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_(economics)

    The price elasticity of supply measures how the amount of a good that a supplier wishes to supply changes in response to a change in price. [14] In a manner analogous to the price elasticity of demand, it captures the extent of horizontal movement along the supply curve relative to the extent of vertical movement.

  4. Isoelastic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isoelastic_function

    An example in microeconomics is the constant elasticity demand function, in which p is the price of a product and D(p) is the resulting quantity demanded by consumers.For most goods the elasticity r (the responsiveness of quantity demanded to price) is negative, so it can be convenient to write the constant elasticity demand function with a negative sign on the exponent, in order for the ...

  5. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_(economics)

    Since supply is usually increasing in price, the price elasticity of supply is usually positive. For example, if the PES for a good is 0.67 a 1% rise in price will induce a two-thirds increase in quantity supplied. Significant determinants include: Complexity of production: Much depends on the complexity of the production process. Textile ...

  6. Function model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_model

    Example of a function model of the process of "Maintain Reparable Spares" in IDEF0 notation. A function model, similar with the activity model or process model, is a graphical representation of an enterprise's function within a defined scope. The purposes of the function model are to describe the functions and processes, assist with discovery ...

  7. Function analysis diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_analysis_diagram

    A function analysis diagram (FAD) is a method used in engineering design to model and visualize the functions and interactions between components of a system or product. It represents the functional relationships through a diagram consisting of blocks, which represent physical components, and labeled relations/arrows between them, which represent useful or harmful functional interactions.

  8. Elasticity of a function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elasticity_of_a_function

    In economics, the price elasticity of demand refers to the elasticity of a demand function Q(P), and can be expressed as (dQ/dP)/(Q(P)/P) or the ratio of the value of the marginal function (dQ/dP) to the value of the average function (Q(P)/P). This relationship provides an easy way of determining whether a demand curve is elastic or inelastic ...

  9. Constant elasticity of substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constant_elasticity_of...

    Constant elasticity of substitution (CES) is a common specification of many production functions and utility functions in neoclassical economics.CES holds that the ability to substitute one input factor with another (for example labour with capital) to maintain the same level of production stays constant over different production levels.
