Law of Supply
•
•
The principle that suppliers will normally
offer more for sale at higher prices and
less at lower prices.
As price goes up, quantity produced also
goes up
Supply Curve:
• At high prices more
will be supplied. At
lower prices, less will
be supplied.
• Price and quantity
supplied are directly
related.
• The drawing to the
right is a typical
supply curve.
Supply Schedule
• Supply schedule is just
like the demand
schedule, but the
supply schedule shows
both quantity supplied
and price rise together.
Quantity
Supplied
Construct a Supply curve using the
following data
Quantity
Supplied
On your supply curve
• Label the point where price is $15 and
quantity supplied 4 units as point a.
• Next label the point where price is $20 and
quantity supplied is 6 units as point b.
• Movement from point a to point b, or to any
other point along the supply curve is
movement in quantity supplied.
Movement along the Supply Curve/
Change in quantity supplied.
Change in supply
• A change in supply
occurs when
something happens to
cause suppliers to
offer different amounts
of products for each
price in the market.

What can cause a change in supply to the right?
• Lower cost of inputs such as cheaper labor or
cheaper packaging
• More productive/better trained labor.
• New technology like more fuel efficient delivery
vehicles, better/faster machines
• Lower taxes/government subsidies (subsidy is a
government payment to an individual or business
to encourage or protect a certain economic
activity.)
What can cause a change in supply to the left?
•
•
•
•
•
More expensive labor
Higher taxes
Less efficient workers
Broken technology
Withdrawal of
subsidies

Supply Elasticity
Type of Elasticity
Change in Quantity
Supplied Due to a
Change in Price
Elastic
More than proportional
Unit Elastic
Proportional
Inelastic
Less than proportional
Supply Elasticity
• Supply elasticity is caused by the ability of
a producer to change output.
• If producers can increase output quickly,
supply is elastic.
• If producers can not increase output quickly,
supply is inelastic.
Theory of Production
• The relationship between the factors of
production (land, labor, capital,
entrepreneurs) and output of goods and
services.
• Short run – change in the variable of labor
• Long run – change in land & capital

Theory of Production
• The relationship between the factors of
production (land, labor, capital,
entrepreneurs) and output of goods and
services.
• Short run – change in the variable of labor
• Long run – change in land & capital
Law of Variable Proportions
• Stage I – Increasing returns
*output rises at an increasingly faster rate (each new
worker makes more than the previous worker did)
• Stage II – Diminishing returns
*output rises at a diminishing rate (each new worker
increases output, but not as much as the previous worker
did)
• Stage III – Negative returns
*output decreases as each new worker is added
Measure of Costs
• Fixed cost – the cost that a business incurs even if
the plant is idle and production is zero
-salaries to executives
-interest on bonds
-rent payments
-taxes
-depreciation
• Overhead – total fixed cost
• Variable costs – costs that change when output
changes
-hourly workers
-power
-freight charges
-raw materials
• Total costs – the sum of fixed and variable costs

products and processes?

owner have in common?

How is price determined?
• Price is determined
by the intersection
of supply &
demand.
Prices as Signals
• Price – the monetary value of a product as
established by supply & demand.
• Price is a signal that helps us make
economic decisions.
• High prices are a signal for producers to
produce more and consumers to buy less.
• Low prices are a signal for producers to
produce less and consumers to buy more.
Advantages of Prices
• 1.) Prices in a competitive market favor
neither the producer nor the consumer.
• 2.) Prices in a market economy are
flexible.
• 3.) Prices have no administrative costs and
answer the questions WHAT, HOW, and
for WHOM to produce.
• 4.) You have known it your entire life.
Life without prices?
• Prices help allocate scarce resources, but
what if there was no such thing as price?
• Rationing – the government determines
everyone’s “fair” share.
• Problem with determining what is fair.
• High administrative stuff (cost,
enforcement, etc)
• No incentive to work hard.
