Change in Supply (ΔS)= a change in the number of units supplied at every price. Change in Supply (ΔS)= a change in the number of units supplied at every price. [graph together on overhead] Cause for a change in supply= Cause for a change in supply= Number of Factors, such as: 1. Change in Technology 2. Change in the Cost of inputs

EX: a technological change can increase productivity and lowers the cost, which may allow firms to sell 650 units at $2 instead of 600. EX: a technological change can increase productivity and lowers the cost, which may allow firms to sell 650 units at $2 instead of 600. A change in the cost of inputs may cause a loss for the firm. If the cost of labor goes up, or raw materials, or higher energy costs=all increase cost of production. A change in the cost of inputs may cause a loss for the firm.
