Relationship between price and Quantity Supplied

Relationship between price and Quantity Supplied

  • Given the producer’s motivation to supply, it should be clear that there is a greater willingness to increase the quantity supplied when there is a rise in prices
  • This is because firms are more likely to be making a greater profit
  • So when price increases, the quantity supplied also increases
  • If there is a fall in price, there will be a fall in the quantity supplied as producers are less likely to make a profit
