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.

(a) shortage,(b) Larger

Explanation:

Binding ceiling price which is set by government.Ceiling price is the maximum price above which we cannot sell the goods. Binding ceiling price means price that is set below the equilibrium price.Firms cannot sell there goods above that price. Now equilibrium price means ,a price which is determined at a point where demand and supply curve meets.

When there exist binding ceiling price than there might be some firms who are not willing to sell at that price .So there can be shortage of supply .This shortage will be larger in long run than in short run because in short run supply remains same irrespective of change in price.
