XYZ Co. makes a processor that requires a metal that can be found in a single mine in Peru. Do you expect the price elasticity of supply for this processor to be elastic or inelastic? Explain your answer in approximately 1-4 sentences.
Suppose there is a 10% increase in the price of apples. In the immediate short run this elicits a 1% increase in the quantity of apples supplied. Calculate the elasticity of supply. Is this elasticity of supply elastic or inelastic? Why do you think this is? Now assume that over a ten year period a 10% increase in the price of apples leads to a 15% increase in the quantity of apples supplied. Calculate this elasticity of supply. Is it elastic or inelastic? Explain the difference in your two measures of elasticity.

A farmer produced 8400 tons of grapes and each ton sales for $200. Grapes are found to be a perfect cure for Corona Virus. As a result, the price of grapes went from $200 per ton to $10,000 per ton. How many tons will the farmer sale? Using your knowledge of price elasticity of supply, draw a graph illustrating this sale. What will happen in the market for grapes in one year if the price hold steady at $10, 000. Draw a graph showing this.

Describe how the elasticity of demand behaves in the long run?
When you compare the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand for most products [Hint, oil is one product that works this way.] in the long run (20 years) vs absolute value of the elasticity of demand for the products in the short run (6 months), the absolute value of the long run price elasticity of demand is... [Note: we consider demand elasticity positive, even though they're technically negative. In other words, for purposes of this question, "greater" means farther away from zero] a) less than that of the short run. In the long run, this elasticity will always be very close to zero b) not zero, but less than that of the short run c) equal to that of the short run d) greater than that of the short run
