Solution
The law of supply states that there is a positive relationship between the price of a product and the quantity that producers are willing to supply. This is shown by an upward-sloping supply curve.
This happens mainly due to two reasons:
- Higher Prices Mean More Profit: When the price of a product increases, producers can earn more profit. This encourages them to produce and sell more of that product, assuming other factors remain constant.
- Increasing Cost of Production: As the production of goods increases, the marginal cost (cost of producing each extra unit) also increases. To cover this higher cost, producers are willing to supply more only at a higher price.
