If an input needed for production is in limited supply, so that industry expansion raises costs for all existing firms, what could the long-run market supply curve look like?
Correct answer B. Upward sloping
Explanation
As the industry grows, competition for the scarce input bids up its price and shifts every firm's cost curves upward. A higher price is then needed to call forth more output, so supply slopes upward.
