The amount of a product that would be offered for sale at all possible prices in the market

Suppliers will normally offer more for sale at high prices and less at lower prices

Supply schedule lists various quantities of a product supplied at all possible prices (table) An individual supply curve shows how the quantity a producer will make varies directly with the price in the market (line graph) The higher that price, the more the producer will make A supply curve ALWAYS slopes upward

Situation where suppliers offer different amounts of products for sale at all possible prices in the market

Factors that cause a change in supply (write 3 facts for each): Cost of inputs Productivity Technology Taxes and subsidies Expectations Government regulations Number of sellers
