Elastic supply  supply is –Example: more pizza being produced at a higher price –A small increase in price has a Inelastic supply  supply is –Example: painting by a deceased artist Key factor in determining elastic vs. inelastic supply Short run  supply is Long-run  supply is Elasticity of Supply

Short Run Elasticity Orange grove example  –If price goes up, planter could plant more trees, but he has –His supply is inelastic because –If price goes down, the planter will probably supply

Orange Grove Example  –Over time, you can plant more trees –If the price drops and stays low, over time, the grower could Supply becomes more elastic if the Long-Run Elasticity
