What effect will each of the following have on the supply of auto tires?
Microeconomics chapter 3
Supply is a schedule or curve showing the amounts of a productthat producers are willing to offer in the market at each possibleprice during a specific period. The law of supply states that otherthings equal, producers will offer more of a product at a high pricethan at a low price. Thus, the relationship between price and quantity supplied is positive or direct, and supply is graphed as anupsloping curve.The market supply curve is the horizontal summation of thesupply curves of the individual producers of the product.Changes in one or more of the determinants of supply (resource prices, production techniques, taxes or subsidies, the pricesof other goods, producer expectations, or the number of sellers inthe market) shift the supply curve of a product. A shift to the rightis an increase in supply; a shift to the left is a decrease in supply. Incontrast, a change in the price of the…

Because pumping large amounts of water is harder than pumping small amounts, the cost of producing a bottle of water rises as he pumps more. Here is the cost he incurs to produce each bottle of water. Cost of first bottle $1 Cost of Second bottle $3 Cost of Third bottle $5 Cost of fourth bottle $7 a. From this information, derive Adam's supply schedule. Graph his supply curve for bottled water. b. If the price of a bottle is $4, how many bottles does Adam's produce and sell? How much producer surplus does Adam's get from these sales? Show Adam's producer surplus in your graph. c. If the price rises $6, how does quantity supplied change?

Suppose an innovation in the baking process makes it possible to produce more croissants at a lower cost than ever before. Show the effect of this change on the market for croissants by shifting one or both of the curves on the following graph, holding all else constant. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
