Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply = percentage change in quantity supplied / percentage change in price

0.2 =5% / percentage change in price

percentage change in price = 5/0.2 = 25%

If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means supply is elastic. Elastic supply means that quantity supplied is sensitive to price changes.  

Supply is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity supplied. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one

Supply is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity supplied.

where,

Total expenses in three years = Total sales × total percentage of sales

                                                = $6,200,000 × 9%

And, the actual warranty expenditure is $239,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the value would equal to

= $558,000 - $239,000

=  $319,000
