10. Price elasticity of supply in the short run and long run
The following graph shows the short-run supply curve for pears.
Place the orange line (square symbol) on the graph to show the most likely long-run supply curve for pears. (Note: Place the points of the line either on T and I or on T and X.)
Long-run supply being more elastic than short-run supply, the long-run supply curve will be flatter than the short-run supply curve. The relevant long-run supply curve will pass through points T and I.

6. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the competitive market for halogen lamps. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. COSTS (Dollars) AVC МСП OHH 0 10 90 100 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of lamps) On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the firm's short-run supply curve...
Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the competitive market for halogen lamps. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of lamps this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent...

7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Aa Aa Consider a perfectly competitive market for titanium. Assume that all firms in the industry are identical and have the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. Assume also that it does not matter how many firms are in the industry. Tool Tip: Place the mouse cursor over orange square points on the MC curve to see coordinates. COSTS (Dollars per kilogram...
10. The long-run supply curve in different cost industries The following graph shows the market for milk. Initially, the market is in a long-run equilibrium. Suppose that a change in tastes resulted in a leftward shift in demand. On the following graph, shift the demand or supply curve to reflect this change in tastes. Then use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate the new short-run equilibrium. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap...
