Market diagram for lithium-ion battery packs

From the above diagram, it can be concluded that when the price rises from $120 to $150:

the price elasticity of supply of lithium-ion battery packs is +1.25.

lithium-ion battery packs are an inferior good.

the price elasticity of supply of lithium-ion battery packs is +0.8.

there will be excess supply of lithium-ion battery packs at $150.
