Study Notes

Supply and Demand Graph Analysis

  • A movement from Point A to Point B on a supply and demand graph represents a change in the supply or quantity supplied.
  • This movement can be classified into four possible scenarios: increase in supply, decrease in supply, increase in quantity supplied, or decrease in quantity supplied.

Change in Supply vs. Quantity Supplied

  • A change from Point A to Point B in Figure 3-3 represents a change in supply or quantity supplied.
  • The correct answer depends on the direction of the movement:
    • If the movement is from left to right, it represents an increase in quantity supplied.
    • If the movement is from right to left, it represents a decrease in quantity supplied.
  • A shift of the entire curve to the right represents an increase in supply, while a shift to the left represents a decrease in supply.
