Lecture 7: Examining Supply and Market Price Determination • Supply • Price Determination • Changes in Market Equilibrium • Examples • Work for the weekend • Review Lab Times
Supply • If a firm supplies a good or service, the firm • Has the resources and technology to produce it, • Can profit from producing it, and • Has made a definite plan to produce it and sell it.
Supply • The quantity supplied of a good or service is the amount that producers plan to sell during a given time period at a particular price.
Supply • What determines selling plans? • The price of the good • The prices of resources used to produce the good • Technology • The number of suppliers • The prices of related goods produced • Expected future prices
Supply • The Law of Supply • Other things remaining the same, the higher the price of a good, the greater is the quantity supplied.
Supply • Supply Curve and Supply Schedule • Supply curves show the relationship between the quantity supplied of a good and its price (ceteris paribus). • Supply schedules list the quantities supplied at each different price (ceteris paribus).

Supply • A Change in Supply • When any factor that influences selling plans other than the price of the good changes, there is a change in supply. • An increase in supply causes the supply to shift rightward. • A decrease in supply causes the supply curve to shift leftward.
A Change in Supply • Price of Productive Resources • Technology • The Number of Suppliers
A Change in Supply • Price of Related Goods Goods Produced • Substitutes in Production • Complements in Production • Expected Future Prices

The Supply of Tapes • The Law of Supply • The quantity of tapes supplied • Decreases if: • The price of a tape falls • Increases if: • The price of a tape rises
The Supply of Tapes • Changes In Supply • The supply of tapes • Decreases if: • The price of a resource used to produce tapes rises • The number of tape producers decreases • The price of a substitute in production rises • The price of a complement in production falls • The price of a tape is expected to rise in the future
The Supply of Tapes • Changes In Supply • The supply of tapes • Increases if: • The price of a resource used to produce tapes falls • More efficient technologies for producing tapes are discovered • The number of tape producers increases • The price of a substitute in production falls • The price of a complement in production rises • The price of a tape is expected to fall in the future
A Change in the Quantity Supplied Versus a Change in Supply • A movement along a supply curve, which results from a change in price, shows a change in the quantity supplied. • If some other influence on sellers’ plans changes, holding price constant, there is a change in supply.

Market Equilibrium • Equilibrium in a market occurs when the price balances the plans of buyers and sellers. • Equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied. • Equilibrium quantity is the quantity bought and sold at the equilibrium price.
Market Equilibrium • Price as a Regulator • If the price is too low, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. • If the price is too high, quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
