  2. Shifts of the Supply Curve 5.2

  3. Reading Quiz • Name two determinants of supply. • Would an improvement in technology shift the supply curve inwards or outwards? 3. True or False: moving along the supply curve is the same as a shift in supply curve.

  4. Determinants of supply

  5. 1. Change in Price of Resources • Decrease in price of resources = lower cost Producers are more willing and able to supply their good at each price. • Increase in price the of resources = greater cost Producers are less willing and able to supply their good at each price.

  6. 2. Change in the Prices of Other Goods ALL resources have more than one use. If the price of a good goes up, producers are more willing to supply that good at each price. If the price of a good goes down, producers are less willing to supply that good at each price.

  7. 3. Changes in Technology/Transportation Improvements in technology and transportation makes manufacturing more efficient, and therefore, cheaper. Firms are more willing and able to supply the good each price.

  8. 4. Changes in Producer Expectations If producers expect prices to rise, they will expandsupply. If producers expect prices to fall in the future, they will decreasesupply. MAZDA 3: Ranked one of the best cars of 2013
