  • A shift in demand would not affect the price when supply is a. perfectly elastic .

When the supply curve is perfectly elastic, that means that it is completely horizontal. Hence, shifts in the demand curve do not have any effect on the price. Only the quantity will be affected when the demand curve shifts.
