2 1.Define supply & the Law of Supply. 2.Understand the difference between the supply schedule & supply curve. 3.Specify the reasons for a change in quantity supplied & a change in supply. 4.Describe the concepts of elastic, inelastic & unit elastic supply.

3 supply Law of Supply supply schedule supply curve change in quantity supplied change in supply subsidy supply elasticity

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

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

6 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

7 A change in quantity supplied is the change in amount offered for sale in response to a change in price Shows as a movement along the supply curve Producers have the freedom to slow or stop production if prices fall too low

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

9 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

10 Measure of the way quantity supplied responds to a change in price Small increase in price yields large increase in output = ELASTIC Quantity supplied changes very little = INELASTIC Change in price caused proportional change in quantity supplied = UNIT ELASTIC
