In the short run, most commodities have inelastic supply curves. In the long run, with increased investment, supply could become more elastic. I would hazard a guess that the radio - active isotopes used for nuclear fuel such as Uranium-235 have the most inelastic supply.
It is inelastic due to houses taking a long time to build so there will be a short supply of housing. there are also no alternatives to housing. There is but that is if you want to become homeless.
If production adjustments takes long.
Would someone answer my question please I need it due Monday :S Inelastic supply ensures a predictable level of supply and also a static cost price. Elastic demand would mean that you need to careful in planning your supply pipeline. if you order too much you may end up selling at or below cost or at lower than budgeted margins. Generally in a globalised open market these 2 conditions cannot exist for long. They are counter intuitive
Natural gas is inelastic in the short term because the amount of natural gas available does not tend to increase with demand. In the long run prices can become more elastic due to the ability to adjust your overall consumption of natural gas to match the supply.

In the long run (ceteris paribus), aggregate supply is perfectly inelastic, represented by a vertical line. No matter the inflation or deflation, there will be constant real product. However, in the short run, aggregate supply is much more elastic (and, according to Keynes, can become perfectly elastic (horizontal) if the economy gets into a rut). The real GDP will change because of the price level. But by definition, in the long run real variables are resistant to nominal changes, so real GDP will not be influenced by price level while in the short run it is not constant.
Most of them are more elastic in the long run,because all factors of production are variable,not fixed.

inelastic commodities are those with few or no substitutes. The importance of natural gas as the current state are unparalleled and for that matter makes it inelastic, that however is only a short-run issue; in the long run other commodities like coal, and thermal energy would place the substitute role on natural gas thereby moving it to an elastic good. Natural gas would only be inelastic in the short-run
This episode shows how supply and demand can behave differently in theshort run and in the long run. In the short run, both the supply and demand for oilare relatively inelastic. Supply is inelastic because the quantity of known oil reservesand the capacity for oil extraction cannot be changed quickly. Demand is inelasticbecause buying habits do not respond immediately to changes in price.
Yes, bacause on the short run you are not able to harvest more apples than you have threes. On the long term you are able to adjust the number of threes
