The supply curve for a perfectly competitive firm in the short run is typically upward sloping and relatively elastic. This means that as the price of the good or service increases, the firm is willing and able to produce more of it. However, the firm's ability to adjust its output is limited by its fixed inputs in the short run.
a perfectly competitive firms supply curve will be the portion of the marginal cost curve which lies above the average variable cost curve (AVC)..this will be due to the firms unwillingness to supply below the price in which they could cover their variable costs
A perfectly competitive firm's supply curve is that portion of its' marginal cost curve that lies above the minimum of the average variable cost curve. A perfectly competitive firm maximizes profit by producing the quantity of output that equates price and marginal cost. As such, the firm moves along it's marginal cost curve in response to alternative prices. Because the marginal cost curve is positively sloped due to the law of diminishing marginal returns, the firm's supply curve is also positively sloped.
Because of the price taking nature of the firm in the perfectly competitive market. The supply curve would be the portin of the (Marginal Cost Curve) that disects the (P=Ar=Mr curves). Som from that point up would be the supply curve, to produce below that point would not be beneficial to the establishment. Up sloping and equal to the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost. The demand curve is also perfectly elastic, this too contributes to the fact.
The world supply curve is considered perfectly elastic.
Perfectly elastic supply curve: The supply of a commodity will be perfectly elastic when its price remain constant but supply changes to any extent.The supply curve will be parallel to x axis.The numerical value of elasticity of supply will be infinity. Perfectly inelastic supply curve: The supply of a commodity will be perfectly inelastic when its supply remain constant but price changes to any extent.The supply curve will be parallel to y axis.The numerical value of elasticity of supply will be zero.

B. Perfectly elastic This is because it is operating in a perfect competitive market

A diagram of a perfectly competitive market typically shows a horizontal demand curve representing perfect competition, a horizontal supply curve at the market price, and a point where supply equals demand to show equilibrium. It also includes the producer and consumer surplus to illustrate market efficiency.

yes the demand curve is perfectly inelastic and horizontal
When supply and demand are perfectly elastic/inelastic
perfectly elastic demand function.
No it does not. Only Perfectly Competitive firms have a horizontal Marginal Cost curve, which is also there demand curve.
