True or False: A price ceiling above $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market.
 
True
 
False
 
 
Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges.
 
Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a  __shortage/surplus?__  that is  __larger/smaller?__  in the long run than in the short run.
