Explaining the Theory of Supply

Supply is defined as the quantity of a good or service that producers are willing and able to supply at a given price in each time period.

The law of supply is that as the price of a product rises, so businesses expand supply. Higher prices provide a profit incentive for firms to expand production

A supply curve shows a relationship between market price and how much a firm is willing and able to sell.
