Explanation of Solution

The short run refers to a time period, which does not allow a change in capital to adjust to the market situation. The short-run model explains the changes in output due to changes in the variables such as labor and raw materials and the present inflation rate.

The long run refers to a time period, which changes the production variable to adjust to the market situation. The long-run model represents the growth rate of output and the production level. The model also explains the long-run inflation rate. The long-run output level should be known for understanding the short-run fluctuations and the size of production.
