Solution
The supply of perishable commodities is usually inelastic since they cannot be stored for long periods; hence, it cannot adjust quickly to changes in price. Excess perishable items cannot be stored and must be sold immediately to avoid waste. Durable goods have a more elastic supply due to their ability to be kept and modified to price changes without spoiling.
