Currently, at a price of $0.5 each, 200 popsicles are sold per day in the perpetually hot town of Rostin. Consider the elasticity of supply. In the short run, a price increase from $0.5 to $1 is unit-elastic (E s = 1). In the long run, a price increase from $0.5 to $1 has an elasticity of supply of 1.5. (Hint: Apply the midpoints approach to the elasticity of supply.)
