Explain what causes changes in supply and quantities supplied
Expert Solution
Step 1

Answer:

Introduction:

Change in supply: Change in 'supply' takes place due to changes in other factors. Here other factors mean factors other than price. The other factors are changes in the price of inputs, changes in taxes, changes in technology, etc. In the case of the change in supply, there is a shift in the supply curve.

Change in quantity supplied: Change in 'quantity supplied' takes place due to a change in the price of the good only. There is a positive relationship between the change in the quantity supplied and the change in the price. In the case of a change in the quantity supplied there is a movement along the supply curve.
