This document discusses bioeconomics and provides examples of calculating market equilibrium and price elasticity of supply. It introduces a supply function of Qx=20, px=3 and Qx=3+0.8px to demonstrate how to calculate market equilibrium. It then shows how to calculate price elasticity of supply using the percentage change in quantity supplied divided by the percentage change in price, with the given supply function yielding a PES of 0.12, indicating inelastic supply.
