Question

State whether the following statement is TRUE and FALSE.

Supply for perishable goods is inelastic.

Options

• True

• False

Answer 1

Supply for perishable goods is inelastic. - True

Explanation:
It is correct. Perishable goods (such as food grains, milk products etc.) are those goods that are subject to decay or spoilage. Since these goods cannot be stored for a longer time, their supply cannot be changed immediately in response to change in price. As a result, their supply is inelastic.
