How long is the long run?

In the long run, all inputs are variable. This is a different period of time for different firms. For electric power utilities, the long run is likely to be more than 10 years, given the long time it takes to build a generating plant. For a roadside seller of apples, the long run may be very short, as it takes little time to increase the size of the apple cart.
