2. Supply Quantity supplied – amount of a good that sellers are willing and able to sell Law of supply – the quantity supplied of a good rises as price rises Supply schedule – table showing relationship b/t the price and quantity supplied of a good Supply curve – graph of relationsip b/t P and Qs

4. Market supply – the sum of all individual suppliers in the same market Graphically, individual supply curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market supply curve Change in Qs - Caused by a change in anything that alters the quantity supplied at each price.

5. 1 5 Price of Ice- Cream Cone Quantity of Ice-Cream Cones 0 S 1.00 A C $3.00 A rise in the price of ice cream cones results in a movement along the supply curve. Change in Quantity Supplied

6. Shifts in the S curve – Change in Supply Input Prices – when the P of an input rises, the S decreases b/c it is more expensive to produce and less profitable Technology – advances in technology can increase the supply Expectations – if the firm expects prices to rise in future, may produce less now # of sellers – if more firms enter market, S will go up

8. S and D together Equilibrium refers to a situation in which the price has reached the level where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded Occurs where the S and D curve intersect Equilibrium Price – price at intersection Equilibrium Quantity – Q at intersection

10. Markets not in Equilibrium SURPLUS - When price > equilibrium price, then quantity supplied > quantity demanded. There is excess supply or a surplus. Suppliers will lower the price to increase sales, thereby moving toward equilibrium.

12. Markets not in Equilibrium SHORTAGE -When price the quantity supplied. There is excess demand or a shortage. Suppliers will raise the price due to too many buyers chasing too few goods, thereby moving toward equilibrium.
