Which of the following examples illustrates quantity supplied?
Select the correct answer below:
Firm A's costs of production decreased, so it wants to sell more at any price.
Technology improvement has made it cheaper to produce TV's so producers want to supply more.
Firm B has to reduce production of watches and reinvest into producing jewelry which is more profitable.
The price of houses has increased dramatically so more homeowners want to sell their house.
Answer - The price of houses has increased dramatically so more homeowners want to sell their house.
The quantity supplied is directly related with price. When the
price of a commodity rises, quantity supplied also rises and
vice-versa provided other things remains constant. When the price
of houses increased, the quantity supplied of houses too
increased.
The other options cannot be the example of quantity supplied as the
supply is changing due to the change in the other factors, not due
to price.
