Question
What do you mean by perfectly inelastic supply?
Solution
When the quantity supplied of a commodity does not change at all in response to change (increase or decrease) in the price of the commodity, the supply for that commodity is said to be perfectly inelastic. The supply curve will be vertical line parallel to the y-axis.
