![Suppose that at a price of $2, 300 apples are sold per day. The elasticity of supply is 1 when the
price increases from $2 to $4 in the short run and the elasticity of supply is 1.5 when the price
increases from $2 to$4 in the long run. (Use midpoint elasticity formula).
How much seller will sell the apples if the price increases from $2 to $4 in the long run?
a. 900
b. 1500
c. 600
d. 0](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F851230c5-e9d9-45df-bb53-600d0a184468%2F6ae0b9f0-4848-4b8d-be0a-1fdc77da8ff1%2Fxkp4e4_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
