Answer: False
Explanation:
The price elasticity of supply measures the change in quantity supplied when the price changes.
The basic trend is that when price increases, quantity supplied increases as well. The reverse is true.
Price elasticity of supply = %Change in quantity supplied / % change in price
0.5 = -6% / Change in price
0.5 * Change in price = -6%
Change in price = -6% / 0.5
= -12%
The statement above is therefore false because price should have reduced by 12% for quantity supplied to reduce by 6%
Answer:
The price will decrease and the quantity of the product sold will increase.
Explanation:
The price quoted would be lower because the social costs are not part of the cost of the product. This would increase the demand of the product because financially it is more beneficial and the price demand relation says that when the price of the good decreases the demand of the product increases and vice versa. So this means that the company will earn more but the society will have to bear the cost of the negative impacts.

The greater disadvantage of this situation is relying on one supplier for the manufacturing process which at a certain point could bring <em>instability </em>in front of different issues inherent or not to the supplier.
