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.
