- Supply is the amount of a good or service available.
- As the price increases, the quantity produced also increases. Conversely, as price decreases, the quantity produced decreases.
- This is known as the Law of Supply
- Profit is the motive for production
- Firms entering or exiting production impacts supply levels.
- Firms changing production in the market impacts supply levels, and this is the Law of Supply.
Supply Schedule
- Compares variables such as price and quantity supplied.
- Only considers price, not other possibilities. All other variables remain constant (ceteris paribus).
- Variables include price and quantity supplied.
Market Supply Schedule
- Shows the quantity supplied at different prices.
- Example: At $1.00, the quantity supplied is 100. At $1.50, the quantity supplied is 150, and so on.
