Different products react differently to price changes. This is called supply elasticity. Here are some important reasons that explain why this happens:

1. Type of Product:

   • Perishable Goods: Items like fruits and vegetables can't be stored for long. They have low supply elasticity. If prices go up, producers can't quickly make more before the items spoil.
   • Manufactured Goods: Items like electronics and cars are different. They have higher elasticity. If prices go up, manufacturers can create more products to meet the demand.

2. Time to Produce:

   • Some products take a long time to make, like big machines or buildings. These types of products are often inelastic because setting up the production takes time.
   • On the other hand, some items, like t-shirts or baked goods, can be made quickly. These have a more elastic supply because companies can respond to price changes faster.

3. Availability of Resources:

   • If a product needs rare materials, it might not adapt well to price changes. For example, luxury items made from rare metals may not be produced quickly if prices go up.
   • However, products that use common resources can be made more easily and quickly.

In short, how quickly producers can respond to changes in price depends on what the product is, how long it takes to make, and whether the needed materials are easy to find.
