Answer to Question 1

Frozen fish sticks can be stored. If frozen fish sticks go on sale you can buy large quantities and store them in your freezer. Thus, you may be more sensitive to price changes in the short run.

Answer to Question 2

The elasticity of supply is very inelastic for fresh cut flowers. These flowers are perishable and quickly become worthless. The seller will accept almost any market price.
