JAMB - Economics (2013 - No. 14)

If the supply of a product is elastic, a small reduction in price will
reduce the cost of production
reduce the quantity supplied
increase the quantity supplied
lead to no change in the quantity supplied

Explanation

Elastic demand means a change in price would cause a change in the quantity demanded. In an elastic demand,  a small reduction in price would increase the quantity demanded and a decrease in the quantity supplied. This is so because, suppliers will not be willing to supply much goods when the price for it is low.
