What do you think of when you hear the word
supply?
How do you think supply will be different from
demand?
2. Why do producers want to provide products at the highest
possible price?
SUPPLY
3. SUPPLY
Supply is the willingness (desire) and ability
of producers to offer goods and services for
sale
Similar to demand: willingness and ability!
Ex: A farmer on antarctica will be unable to
produce any crops no matter his/her desire.
Thus,
he/she cannot supply markets with
products.
4. LAW OF SUPPLY
As prices fall, quantity supplied falls.
As prices increase, quantity supplied rises.
This is a direct relationship or positive
correlation.
Example: A farmer typically grows carrots and
tomatoes. If the market price is $1 per kg of
tomatoes then he/she might produce 50 kg of
tomatoes. If the price drops to $0.50 then
he/she might only produce 25kg of tomatoes ,
so he/she can focus on more carrots.
5. SUPPLY SCHEDULE
A supply schedule is a table that shows how
much of a good or service an individual is
willing and able to offer at each price.
A market supply schedule is a table that
shows how much of a good or service all
producers in a market are willing and able to
offer
6. EXAMPLE OF A SUPPLY SCHEDULE
Look at page 132.
How many pounds of tomatoes will the
Smith’s offer for sale if the price is 1.75?
How is this supply schedule different from a
demand schedule?
7. EXAMPLE OF MARKET SUPPLY SCHEDULE
P.133
How does the quantity supplied of tomatoes
change when the prices rises from .75 a
pound to 1.75 a pound?
Increases from 100 to 300: an increase of
200lbs
8. APPLICATION B
Imagine that you own a health food store that
sells several brands of nutrition bars.
Create a supply schedule showing how many
bars you would be willing to sell each month
at prices of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1
9. SUPPLY CURVES

Market supply schedules show data from
market supply schedules in graph form.
10. APPLYING APPLICATION B
Take the market schedule you made for
application B and create a supply curve
How does this curve look different from a
demand curve?
11. SUPPLY CURVES CONT..
Look at page 134, figure 5.4
How many pounds of tomatoes will the
Smiths offer for sale when the price is 1.50?
Look at figure 5.5
At
which price will all the fruit and vegetable
stands want to sell 200 pounds of tomatoes?
