supply curve. First is the movement along the supply curve and second is the shift of the supply curve. To explain the movement along the supply curve, simply it happens due to any price relative reasons. This happens solely because of increase of price. This graph is showing when the price is increasing and as the price increases, this will give incentives to firms producing goods or services to produce more for greater profit. Initially, the price was at 80 and the firm was supplying 60 units, when the price had increased to 116, the firms conclude to make more units up to 70. [8] Another change in supply curve is ‘shift’. In this case it does not move along the supply curve but the whole supply curve shifts to either left or right. This fundamentally happens because of any non-price determinants. [8] In this case the supply curve shift to right, initially S1 to S2. The equilibrium price also decreases from the point of intersection of P1 and Q1 to another intersection of P2 and Q2, eventually the equilibrium price had been decreased. [8] In this case the supply curve shift to left, initially S1 to S2. The equilibrium price also increases from the point of intersection of P1 and Q1 to another intersection of P2 and Q2, eventually the equilibrium price had been increased. Affecting factors There are various non-price determinants that occur shift in supply curve: Cost of productions - If the cost that used in productions such as wage increases, the firms can produce more at the same price so the quantity supplied will increase and supply curve shifts to the right, vice versa. [8] More firms - If number of suppliers increases, the quantity supplied will obviously increase together, vice versa. [8] Capacity - If the number of factories producing the goods increase, the quantity supplied will increase, vice versa. [8] Weather - For example, in the agriculture, the quantity supplied will be dependent on the weather and unfortunately, in case of natural disaster, the quantity supplied can be extremely less, vice versa. [8] Productive workers - If the firm employs more well-educated workers, the productivity of the workers will increase and therefore the quantity supplied will naturally increase, vice versa. [8] Technology improvement - As time goes, the technology will be better and better and will be able to either produce more at the
