SUPPLY CURVE
40
Understanding the ___ is essential for analyzing market behavior and making informed economic decisions.
SUPPLY CURVE
41
These concepts describe different movements on or of the supply curve and are influenced by different factors.
CHANGE IN SUPPLY VS CHANGE IN QUANTITY SUPPLIED
42
refers to a movement along the same supply curve due to a change in the price of the good or service.
CHANGE IN QUANTITY SUPPLIED
43
This movement occurs when the price of the good changes, assuming all other factors that affect supply remain constant (ceteris paribus).
CHANGE IN QUANTITY SUPPLIED
44
refers to a shift of the entire supply curve due to changes in factors other than the price of the good or service.
CHANGE IN SUPPLY
45
This shift indicates that at the same price levels, the quantity supplied has changed.
CHANGE IN SUPPLY
46
CAUSES OF CHANGE IN SUPPLY
- PRODUCTION COSTS
- TECHNOLOGY
- NUMBER OF SELLERS
- GOVERNMENT POLICIES
- EXPECTATIONS
47
A decrease in input costs can shift the supply curve to the right.
PRODUCTION COSTS
48
Advances in technology that reduce
production costs can increase supply.
TECHNOLOGY
49
An increase in the number of sellers in the
market shifts the supply curve to the right.
NUMBER OF SELLERS
50
Subsidies can increase supply, while taxes
can decrease it.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES
51
If producers expect higher future prices, they may reduce current supply, shifting the supply curve to the left.
EXPECTATIONS
52
The cost of inputs (e.g., raw materials,
labor, energy) directly affects production costs. If input prices rise, production becomes more expensive, leading to a decrease in supply (leftward shift). Conversely, a decrease in input prices lowers production costs, resulting in an increase in supply (rightward shift).
PRODUCTION COSTS (INPUT PRICES)
53
Improvements in technology can make
production more efficient, reducing costs and increasing supply. A new technology that enables faster production with the same resources will shift the supply curve to the right.
PRODUCTION COSTS (TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS)
54
The number of producers or sellers in the market directly impacts supply. An increase in the number of sellers increases the overall market supply, shifting the supply curve to the right. Conversely, if sellers exit the market, the supply decreases, shifting the supply curve to the left.
NUMBER OF SELLERS (MARKETING ENTRY OR EXIT)
55
If the price of a substitute good (a good that can be produced using the same resources) increases, producers might shift their resources to produce more of that good, reducing the supply of the original good.
PRICE OF RELATED GOODS (SUBSTITUTES IN PRODUCTION)
56
If a good is produced jointly with another
(e.g., beef and leather), an increase in the price of the complementary good may lead to an increase in the supply of both products. For example, if the price of beef rises, cattle farmers might slaughter more cattle, leading to an increase in the supply of leather as well.
PRICE OF RELATED GOODS (COMPLEMENTARY GOODS)
57
If producers expect prices to rise in the
future, they may hold back some of their current production to sell at the higher future prices, decreasing current supply (leftward shift). Conversely, if they expect prices to fall, they might increase current production to sell more before the price drops, increasing current supply (rightward shift).
EXPECTATIONS OF FUTURE PRICES (FUTURE PRIC EXPECTATIONS)
58
Taxes on production, such as excise taxes,
increase the cost of producing a good, leading to a decrease in supply (leftward shift). Higher taxes mean higher production costs, reducing the willingness and ability of firms to supply the same quantity at a given price.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES (TAXES)
59
Subsidies are payments from the
government to producers that lower their costs of production. A subsidy increases supply (rightward shift) because it makes production more profitable, encouraging producers to supply more.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES (SUBSIDIES)
60
Government regulations can increase production costs or restrict output, leading to a decrease in supply (leftward shift). For example, stricter environmental regulations might increase the cost of production, reducing supply.
GOVERNMENT POLICIES (REGULATIONS)
61
such as weather,
climate, and natural disasters, can significantly affect the supply of goods, especially agricultural products. Favorable weather conditions can lead to an abundant harvest, increasing supply (rightward shift), while adverse conditions (drought, floods) can reduce supply (leftward shift).
NATURAL CONDITIONS (WEATHER AND NATURAL EVENTS)
62
about future market conditions, such as changes in consumer preferences, economic downturns, or technological advancements, can also influence supply. For instance, if producers expect a new technology to lower production costs in the future, they might reduce current supply in anticipation of producing more at a lower cost later.
PRODUCER EXPECTATIONS (EXPECTATIONS ABOUT MARKET CONDITIONS)
63
is a key concept in economics that describes a state where the supply of a good or service matches the demand for it.
MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
64
In this state, the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, and there is no tendency for the price to change unless influenced by external factors.
MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
65
At ___the market clears, meaning there is no surplus or shortage of the good.
EQUILIBRIUM
66
The price at which the quantity of a good or service supplied by producers equals the quantity demanded by consumers. It is the price at which the market is balanced.
EQUILIBRIUM PRICE (MARKET CLEARING PRICE)
67
The price where the supply and demand curves intersect.
EQUILIBRIUM PRICE
68
The quantity of the good or service that is bought and sold at the equilibrium price. It represents the amount of the good that consumers are willing to buy and producers are willing to sell at the equilibrium price.
