HAPPY MONDAY
3
SUPPLY SupplySupply is the amount of goods available Quantity suppliedQuantity supplied – how much of a good is offered for sale at a specific price
4
Law of Supply Law of supplyLaw of supply – the higher the price, the larger the quantity produced –As the price of a good rises, existing firms will produce more in order to earn additional revenue. –At the same time, new firms will have an incentive to enter the market to earn a profit for themselves 2 movements combine to create the law of supply2 movements combine to create the law of supply –1. individual firms change their level of production (more or less) –2. firms entering or exiting the market
5
Law of Supply PRICE As price increases… SUPPLY Quantity supplied increases SUPPLY Quantity supplied falls PRICE As price falls… Higher prices lead to more production!!!
6
Supply Schedule Shows the relationship between price and quantity supplied for a specific goodShows the relationship between price and quantity supplied for a specific good Lists supply for a very specific set of conditions (all other factors remain constant except price)Lists supply for a very specific set of conditions (all other factors remain constant except price) Rise or fall in price will change the quantity suppliedRise or fall in price will change the quantity supplied
7
Supply Graph Supply curveSupply curve – a graph of the supply schedule Higher price = Higher output
8
Role of Existing and New Firms Existing: (firms want to produce & sell more if they will earn more)Existing: If a firm is already earning a profit by selling a good, then an increase in the price (ceteris paribus) will increase the firm’s profits. (firms want to produce & sell more if they will earn more) New:New: Rising prices draw new firms into a market and add to the quantity supplied of the good.
9
Elasticity of Supply The way suppliers respond to price changes What determines whether the supply of a good will be elastic or inelastic? –TIME!!! inelasticIn the short run, a firm cannot easily change its output level, so supply is inelastic elastic.In the long run, firms are more flexible, so supply in more elastic.
10
Combining Supply & Demand

14
Equilibrium The point of balance between the price and quantity Where the market for a good is stable Market equilibrium Market equilibrium = where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded Where the supply curve and the demand curve intersect
15
Disequilibrium If the market price or quantity supplied is anywhere but at the equilibrium Occurs when quantity supplied is not equal to quantity demanded Outcomes of disequilibrium: – Excess demand – Excess demand (shortage) – Excess supply – Excess supply (surplus)
25
Market Price & Equilibrium Market forces will push the market toward the equilibrium Market forces will push the market toward the equilibrium Sellers don’t want to waste their resources on excess supply and when there is excess demand, profit seeking sellers realize they can raise prices to increase profits
26
Excess Demand When quantity demanded is more than quantity supplied Occurs when the actual price is below the equilibrium price A low price encourages buyers but discourages sellers Suppliers will keep raising prices as long as there is an excess demand, and the quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied
27
Excess Supply If the price is too high When quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded High prices encourage sellers but not buyers THINK: TOO MUCH!
28
Government Intervention The government controls prices in 2 ways: –Price ceilings –Price floors
29
Price Ceiling A maximum price, set by the law, that sellers can charge for a good or service Government imposes price ceilings on “essential” goods EX: Rent control – government sets rent below the equilibrium price EX: Rent control – government sets rent below the equilibrium price –Increases quantity demanded but decreases quantity supplied –Landlords have difficulty earning profits from low rents –New apartments wont be built and suppliers will leave the market causing excess demand (shortage)
30
Price Floor Minimum price set by the government that must be paid for a good or service Imposed when the government wants sellers to receive some minimum reward for their efforts The government might provide financial assistance to producers instead of using price floors (like emergency aid to farmers) The government might provide financial assistance to producers instead of using price floors (like emergency aid to farmers)
31
Minimum Wage price floorExample of a price floor Sets a minimum price an employer can pay a worker for an hour of labor labor surplusThis causes a labor surplus – more people looking for work than the employees want to hire

38
Marginal Product of Labor The change in output from hiring one more worker Measures the change in output at the margin, where the last worker has been hired or fired 3 workers can make 5 pizzas per hour Adding another worker increasing production to 7 pizzas per hour. What is the marginal product of labor for the 4 th worker?
39
Increasing Marginal Returns Specialization increases output per worker If each person can specialize in a task, they won’t waste time switching from tasks, which will allow them to become more skillful at their assigned task Therefore, each worker can produce more
40
Diminishing Marginal Returns When adding more workers increases total output, but at a decreasing rate Producing less and less output from each additional unit of labor added to the mix This is a result of limited capital
41
# of workersBeanbags per hourMarginal product of labor 00- 144 2106 3177 4236 5285 6313 7321 831
42
Production Costs Fixed Cost – does not change no matter how much is produced; ex: rent, machinery, etc Variable Cost – changes with production (direct relationship); ex: raw materials, some labor Total Cost – Fixed Cost + Variable Cost
43
Marginal Cost – the additional cost of producing one more unit Marginal revenue (price) = how much you would make off of selling one more unit of a good
44
How to Find the Best Level of Output Firm’s basic goal: maximize profit Profit = total revenue – total cost To have the biggest profit you would want a big difference b/t total revenue & total cost OR when
45
Assessment Explain whether each of these expenses of a textile mill is a fixed cost or a variable cost, and why. 1.Repairs to a leaking roof 2.Cotton 3.Food for the mill’s cafeteria 4.Night security guard 5.Electricity
