Question
Identify the elasticity of supply for the following with proper reasoning:
Short run and long run period.

Solution
Short-run supply elasticity is lower due to the assumption that producers cannot increase supply in the short term. However, in the long run, supply elasticity is higher. In the long run, manufacturers have time to alter supply.
