LABOR PRODUCTIVITY INPUT COSTS EXPECTATIONS TECHNOLOGY 6 Factors for Change in Supply GOVT ACTION # of PRODUCERS http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=pt0rdKrhN1w&NR=1
Input Costs • Input costs are the price of theresources needed to produce a good or provide a service. • Cheaper costs = more goods supplied • Example • The cost of corn and oil go up resulting in less gas being produced.
Cost of production goes down Cost of production goes up
Technology • Technology is when one applies scientific methods andinnovations to production. • Better tech enables companies to produce more goods. • Examples • Tractors allow farmers to grow more food. • Computers allow more work to be processed than typewriters.
Better technology Technology shutdown
Government Action • Government policies can either help or hurt costs of production. • Excise Tax, Regulations and… • Subsidies: payments that help to cover some costs, encourage companies to produce a certain good. • Examples • Tax on cigarettes, A subsidy for milk, The Clean Air Act
Subsidy for good Increased tax on good
Number of Producers • If a company is successful, other companies will try to copy that success. • With more producers, more goods or serviced are produced. • Examples: • Many car companies exist due to the success of Ford. • Increased competition drove out Pontiac and Saturn.
New company joins industry Company drops out of industry
Producer Expectations • If producers expect the price of their product to rise or fallin the future, that may affect their rate of production. • If expecting higher selling prices, Sony may choose to produce more PS4s now.
Producer expects price of good to rise Producer expects price of good to fall

Elasticity of Supply • Elasticity of supply is how responsiveproducers are to price changes. • Elastic supply – quantity supplied will change greatly as price changes. • Inelastic supply – quantity supplied will change little as price changes.
Elastic Supply Price When supply is elastic, prices will not change much, but quantity supplied will change. 30 25 SUPPLY CURVE F E D 20 C B A 15 10 5 60 50 0 10 40 20 30 Quantity
Elasticity of Supply • Inelastic supply – quantity supplied will change little as price changes.
Inelastic Supply Price When supply is in elastic, prices will change a lot, but quantity supplied will not change much. 30 A 25 B SUPPLY CURVE 20 C 15 D 10 E 5 F 0 10 40 50 20 30 Quantity
Factor of Supply Elasticity • The only factor of elasticity for supply is the ease of changing production when the price of an item changes. • Bigger companies are inelastic in the short run as it takes time to adjust production.
