Expert Solution
Step 1

10) The elasticity of supply refers to a change in the supply of the good when the price changes. 

In the long run, the factors of production would be variable. Also, the supply would be elastic, given there would be other substitutes that could be produced in the long time period. So the long-run supply curve would be elastic.
