Solution
| Sr. No. | Intended supply | Actual supply |
| 1. | Intended supply refers to the amount that producers are willing to produce and sell at a given price, assuming no constraints on production. | Actual supply is the amount that is actually produced and made available on the market, which can be affected by unforeseen factors like production issues or changes in costs. |
| 2. | Intended supply is based on planned production levels. | Actual supply may differ due to actual sales being higher or lower than what was anticipated due to changes in demand or input prices. |
| 3. | It may change based on expectations, intentions, or external factors like policy changes. | It is determined by the actual decisions and actions of the producer. |
| 4. | A farmer plans to sell 100 kg of wheat in the market. | The farmer actually brings 80 kg of wheat to the market for sale. |
