Supply
• A schedule or curve showing the various amounts of a product that producers are willing and able to make available for sale at each of a series of possible prices during a specific period
Law of Supply
• As prices rise, the quantity supplied rises… as prices fall, the quantity supplied falls• Direct relationship between price
and quantity supplied
Supply Curve
• Upward sloping from left to right showing that as the price increases, companies are willing to provide more of good in order to increase profit
• Remember--- “supply to the sky”• ***y-axis is price, x-axis is quantity supplied• Be sure to label supply curve S, S1, S2 etc.

Determinants of Supply
• R- Resource Prices- Inputs that go into making a g/s• O- Other Goods’ Prices - Substitutes (milk/cheese) in
production and joint products (mulch/lumber)• T- Taxes and Subsidies• T – Technology Change- increased/decreased
efficiency• E- Expectations of Suppliers- expect. of future prices• N- Number of Sellers- more suppliers = higher S
Equilibrium Price
• The price where the intentions of buyers and sellers meet• Quantity Demanded = Quantity
Supplied
Equilibrium Quantity
• The quantity demanded = quantity supplied• QD and QS at the equilibrium price
Equilibrium Price and Quantity
• Equilibrium exists where the two graphs meet
Graph: Increase in demand, supply constant (New E price? Quantity?)• Equilibrium Price: • Equilibrium Quantity:
Graph: Decrease in Supply, Demand stays Constant (New Equilibrium Price/Quantity? )

Shortage
• The amount the QD exceeds the QS at a certain price (below equilibrium)
Price Floor

• Ex- Minimum Wage, Agricultural prices
Price Ceiling
• A maximum price a seller may charge for a product or service• Ex- rent controls
