Supply Shifts in the Marketplace • Understand how a change in supply and quantity supplied will impact the supply point and supply curve • Analyze different situations to determine the change occurring in the marketplace
Change in Quantity Supplied vs. Supply • Same principles as demand… • Change in quantity supplied results in a point change along the supply curve (price change only) • POINT TO ON YOUR SHEET • Change in supply results in an entire movement of the supply curve (shift to the right or left along the X-axis) • POINT TO ON YOUR SHEET
Change in Supply Shifters • Remember S.T.O.R.E.S • S=size of market • T=technology • O=other related goods’ prices • R=resource/input prices • E=expectations • S=subsidies and taxes
Act… • With the person next to you: • Grab a whiteboard • Marker • Paper towel eraser • We will go through several scenarios in order to better understand possible changes in relation to supply
Base Scenario • Plot out the following supply schedule for a pack of gum
Scenario #1 • Following a recent workers strike, the price of labor increases from $7.25 per hour to $8.25 per hour. How will this effect the production of our gum factory, thus the supply it is creating? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #2 • A new type of packaging machine in our factory has been created that allows us to more efficiently package our gum. How will this effect the market’s supply? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #3 • Our gum factory manager decides that from now on we will now charge $3 for 4 packs of gum instead of the usual $1 for 2 packs. How will this effect supply? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #4 • After years of debate, the government decides to increase the taxes on gum due to the effects it has on young peoples’ teeth. How does this effect supply? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #5 • All in one year 3 new gum companies emerge in the marketplace. How will this effect supply? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #6 • Following a new report from CNN, people have decided that chewing gum increases your focus and attention span. How will this effect supply? • What is the shifter?
Scenario #7 • A new company has just released a product that is a sugar-free, zero-calorie alternative to gum, that only costs 50 cents for 2 packs of gum. How will this effect supply? • What is the shifter?
Act… • Now, take what you have learned and complete the sheet on shifts in supply • H.W. if not completed
