3. Calculate the elasticity of supply if the change in price caused the quantity supplied to increase from 10 to 25 tons.
4. Explain why the total revenue test cannot be used to determine elasticity of supply.
5. Assume the increase in the price of apples decreased the quantity demanded of vanilla ice cream. Identify if these two products are substitutes or complements.
