Introduction to Economics 1 Deneme Sınavı Sorusu #1275638

Which of the following is true regarding the price elasticity of supply?


The price elasticity of supply always has a negative sign.

The supply of a good is said to be elastic if the quantity supplied changes less than the price changes.

The higher the availability of inputs for production, the lower the elasticity of supply is.

The steeper the supply curve, the larger the price elasticity and the flatter the supply curve, the smaller the price elasticity of supply.

The price elasticity of supply is greater in the long-run than it is in the short-run.


Yanıt Açıklaması:

Supply is more elastic in the long-run than in the short-run. Over the short-run, the firms cannot easily change their plant size or factory size to change their production in response to price changes. However, in the long-run change in the plant size and as a result change in the quantity supplied to price changes are both possible.
