The Supply Schedule and the The Supply Schedule and the Supply CurveSupply Curve
The supply schedule is a table that shows the relationship between the price of the good and the quantity supplied.
The supply curve is a graph of the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied.

• Market supply is the sum of all individual supplies at each possible price.
• Graphically, individual supply curves are summed horizontally to obtain the market demand curve.

SummarySummary
• The supply curve shows how the quantity of a good supplied depends upon the price.– According to the law of supply, as the price of
a good rises, the quantity supplied rises. Therefore, the supply curve slopes upward.
– In addition to price, other determinants of how much producers want to sell include input prices, technology, expectations, and the number of sellers.
– If one of these factors changes, the supply curve shifts.
