True or False: A price ceiling below $25 per box is a binding price ceiling in this market.

O False
Because it takes many years before newly planted orange trees bear fruit, the supply curve in the short run is almost vertical. In the long run, farmers
can decide whether to plant oranges on their land, to plant something else, or to sell their land altogether. Therefore, the long-run supply of oranges
is much more price sensitive than the short-run supply of oranges.
Assuming that the long-run demand for oranges is the same as the short-run demand, you would expect a binding price ceiling to result in a
that is
in the long run than in the short run.
