The short-run price elasticity of demand will be inelastic and the short-run price elasticity of supply will be inelastic.
Elasticity of demand measures the relationship that exists between price and quantity demanded.
Elasticity of supply measures how quantity supplied changes when there is a change in the price of a good.
<u><em>Types of elasticity.</em></u>
-
Elastic demand (supply): This means that demand (supply) is sensitive to price changes
- Inelastic demand (supply): this means that demand (supply) does not respond to price changes. The coefficient of elasticity is less than one.
- Unit elastic demand (supply): demand (supply) changes in equal proportion. The coefficient of elasticity is equal to one.
<em><u>Factors that affect elasticity </u></em>
-
The number of substitutes the good has: the more substitutes the good has, the more elastic demand is.
- The length of time: demand (supply) is inelastic in the short run. In the short run, producers (consumers) do not have enough time to find suitable substitutes. In the long run, producers would have more time to search for suitable substitutes or shift to the production of other goods when compared with the short-run.
- Ease of entry or exit into an industry: the more easy it is for firms to enter into an industry, the more elastic supply would be.

I looked up the question, since this one is incomplete. I've attached an image of the correct chart. Elvis' marginal benefit of the fourth sandwich is his total benefit of eating 4 sandwich minus his total benefit from eating 3 sandwiches.
Looking at the chart, we see that this gives us 81-75 = 6.
Therefore, the Marginal Benefit of a fourth sandwich is 6.
Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.
In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.
The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.
Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:



Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it. So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.
