Topics in Supply

1

Meaning of Supply

  • Supply is different from mere availability in the market.
  • A commodity may be available, but that does not automatically mean it has been supplied.
  • Supply includes three elements: quantity, price, and time period.
2

Stock and Supply

  • Stock is the total quantity of a commodity available with a seller or firm at a particular point of time.
  • Supply is that part of stock that the seller is ready to sell at some given price during a given time period.
  • Stock is measured at a point of time, while supply is measured over a period of time.
3

Factors Affecting Individual Supply

  • The six factors affecting individual supply are price of the commodity, technology of production, price of inputs, price of other related goods, objective of the firm, and government policy.
  • Higher price of a commodity usually increases supply because revenue rises.
  • Improved technology reduces cost of production per unit and increases supply.
4

Individual Supply Schedule and Supply Curve

  • Individual supply means supply by a single firm.
  • An individual supply schedule is a tabular presentation of different quantities supplied at different prices.
  • For X Ltd., sugar supply rises from 8 quintals at Rs.2800 to 15 quintals at Rs.3200 per quintal.
