Question

Udeme Ebong · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The supply curve for a company that makes windows for various applications (houses, cars, boats, etc.) is likely to be more elastic because it can easily switch its production between these different types of windows based on changing market conditions. This flexibility makes it easier for the company to adjust its supply of house windows in response to changes in price, compared to a company that only makes house windows.
