Expert Solution
Step 1

Resource X is used for the production of good Y. Fall in the price of resource X leads to fall in price of inputs and hence, cost of production falls.

Fall in cost of production leads to increase in supply of good Y and Increase in supply leads to rightward shift in supply curve.
