Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The market supply curve represents the total quantity of a good that producers are willing to supply at different prices, assuming all other factors remain constant. A change in the price of the good itself moves along the supply curve rather than shifting the position of the supply curve. Changes in factors such as subsidies, the number of sellers, and input prices (options A, C, and D) would shift the supply curve.
