Describe the general appearance of a demand or a supply curve with infinite elasticity.
The price of coffee rose sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Leonard: Demand increased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Sheldon: Demand increased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Penny: Demand increased, but supply decreased at the same time. Howard: Supply decreased, but demand was unit elastic. Raj: Supply decreased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Who could possibly be right? Use graphs to explain your answer.
