10. Price elasticity of supply in the short run and long run
The following graph shows the long-run supply curve for persimmons.
Place the orange line (square symbol) on the following graph to show the most likely short-run supply curve for persimmons. (Note: Place the points of the line either on I and F or on I and C.)
In the long run supply curve is more elastic than in the short run because quantity supplied cannot adjust completely to the price change.
So the short run supply curve will pass from I to C.
The slope of short run supply curve will be more than long run supply curve.
