Question:

If the entrepreneur is willing to take more risk , the supply will be _____

Options:

elastic

inelastic

more elastic

less elastic

Correct Answer:

more elastic

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: more elastic

Supply elasticity measures how much quantity supplied changes in response to a change in price.

  • When an entrepreneur is willing to take more risk, they are more responsive to market changes and quickly adjust production when prices change.
  • This means the supply curve becomes more elastic because the firm is willing to expand production when prices rise and reduce it when prices fall.
