Solution
The law of supply shows a direct relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied. As the price rises, the quantity supplied also increases. This scenario is represented by an upward-sloping supply curve. This happens mainly due to two reasons:
- Profit Motivation: When the price of a product goes up, the chance of earning more profit also increases (assuming other factors remain the same). This encourages producers to supply more of that product.
- Rising Production Costs: As production increases, the cost of making each additional unit (marginal cost) also rises. So, producers are willing to produce and supply more only if the price is high enough to cover these extra costs.
