The following graph shows the supply of a good
For each of the regions, use the midpoint method to identify whether the supply of this good is elastic or inelastic.

True or False: For high levels of quantity supplied where firms have reached near maximum capacity, supply becomes more elastic because firms may need to...
The demand for salt is inelastic, and the supply of salt is
elastic. The demand for caviar is elastic, and the supply of caviar
is inelastic. Suppose that a tax of $1 per pound is levied on the
sellers of salt, and a tax of $1 per pound is levied on the buyers
of caviar. We would expect that most of the burden of these taxes
will fall on .
