Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Elasticity: It is referred to the responsiveness of supply or demand with the increase or decrease of price.

  • In the case: As the supply has already reached it's capacity, and new investment would be required to further increase the production, hence supply becomes less elastic. Because it now would require more material to affect the quantity consumed.
