Close Explanation
Explanation:
The quantity supplied of a good is the amount of the good that sellers are willing and able to supply at a given price. This is different from a supply curve, which shows the entire relationship between the price of a good and the quantity of the good supplied. A supply schedule is a table that shows this relationship. The law of supply states that, other things being equal, the quantity supplied of a good increases when the price of that good rises. You can see the law of supply graphically in the upward-sloping supply curve.
Apply your understanding of the previous key terms by completing the following scenario with the appropriate terminology.

Close Explanation
Explanation:
The law of supply claims that, all else equal, the quantity supplied of a good rises when the price of that good rises. This implies a positive relationship between quantity and price and, thus, an upward-sloping supply curve. Therefore, S1 is the more likely supply curve for records. This curve shows the relationship between the price of records and the amount that sellers are willing and able to supply, known as the quantity of records supplied. For example, at a price of $10 per record, the quantity supplied is five million records according to the supply curve. The curve shows you the entire relationship between prices and quantities.
