How does an increase in input costs typically affect the elasticity of supply for a product?

When input costs increase, it usually becomes more expensive for producers to make their products. This can lead to a decrease in supply because some producers might not be able to afford to produce as much or might decide to stop producing altogether. The elasticity of supply measures how much the quantity supplied changes when prices change. If input costs rise significantly, the supply becomes less elastic, meaning that even if prices go up, producers may not increase their output as much as they would have before the cost increase. For example, if a bakery faces higher flour prices, it may not be able to bake as many loaves of bread, even if the selling price of bread goes up.
