A) S1 is not affected by a government controlled rental price.

B) S2 is not affected by a government controlled rental price.

C) S1 is more elastic than S2.

D) S1 is a short-run supply curve and S2 is a long-run supply curve.

E) S1 is a long-run supply curve and S2 is a short-run supply curve.

88) The short-run supply for rental housing is quite ________ while the long-run supply for housing is quite ________.

A) elastic; inelastic

B) inelastic; elastic

C) flat; steep

D) inelastic; inelastic

E) elastic; elastic

89) The long-run elasticity of supply of rental housing is greater than the short-run elasticity of supply because

A) changes in supply can occur very quickly, especially when rent controls are in place.

B) investment in new rental housing has such a short payback period.

C) changes in supply occur only after investment decisions are made regarding, for example, new construction or conversion of rental housing to other uses.

D) in the long run, landlords have no incentive to alter the supply of rental housing.

E) the demand for rental housing is changing continuously.

90) Consider the demand curve for a product such as movie tickets, which shows how many tickets consumers wish to purchase at each possible price. Alternatively, we could view this demand curve in the following way:

A) for each quantity of movie tickets, the price on the demand curve shows the value that consumers place on that particular movie ticket.

B) for each quantity of movie tickets, the demand curve shows the economic surplus generated by the purchase of the tickets.

C) for each possible price, the demand curve shows the economic surplus generated by the purchase of the tickets.

D) for each quantity of movie tickets, the demand curve shows the extent of market inefficiency and deadweight loss.

E) for each quantity of movie tickets, the demand curve shows the additional cost to the producer of supplying that particular movie ticket.
