|
| |
|
refer to the above diagram. a decrease in supply is depicted by a: |
|
shift from s2 to s1. |
| |
|
the law of supply indicates that: |
|
producers will offer more of a product at high prices than they will at low prices. |
| |
|
the supply curve shows the relationship between: |
|
price and quantity supplied. |
| |
|
