What is supply?
• Supply is the quantity of a product that producers are willing and able to provide at different market prices over a period of time
• It is what they provide from scarce resources available
• Through supply, producers are aiming to meet the unlimited wants of consumers

Tangible and intangible goods
• Tangible goods are ones which you can see and touch e.g. mobile, food, clothing
• Intangible goods (usually services) are things that you cannot see or touch e.g. banking, hairdressing, transport

Why do suppliers supply?
• Suppliers aim to meet the needs of consumers• Usually suppliers are doing this to make a
profit• Profit is the difference between revenue and
total cost• Many firms have profit maximisation as one
of their objectives

Calculating profit
• Cost per mobile: £5• Selling price: £10• Number produced and sold: 100
Costs = 100 x £5 = £500Revenue = 100 x £10 = £1,000Revenue – Cost = £1,000 - £500 = £500

Calculating profit
• Cost of book: £2• Selling price: £3• Number made and sold: 200
•Costs = 200 x £2 = £400•Revenue = 200 x £3 = £600•Revenue – Cost = £600 - £400 = £200

Supply and factors of production
• A supplier’s function is to combine the factors of production in an efficient and profitable way
• Factors of production in a mobile phone• Land – location, materials• Labour – right skilled people• Capital – assembly of phones, money to start
off• Enterprise – business skills and design

Nokia and its use of FOP
• Nokia is a Finnish based mobile phone firm• Labour costs in Finland are high, compared to developing
economies like China and India• Nokia uses capital intensive production in Finland e.g. with
state of the art machines replacing labour• Labour intensive methods are used in lower wage countries
e.g. China

Relationship between price and quantity supplied
• Suppliers will supply more the higher the price • This is because suppliers will make more of a
profit• Consequently, if price falls then the quantity
supplied falls

Supply Curve
Price £
Quantity Bought and Sold (000s)
Supply
£3
200
£7
800
The supply curve slopes upwards from left to right indicating a positive relationship between supply and price. As price rises, it encourages producers to offer more for sale whereas a fall in price would lead to the quantity supplied to fall.

The Supply Curve• Changes in any of the factors OTHER than price cause a shift in the supply
curve• A shift in supply to the left – the amount producers offer for sale at every
price will be less
• A shift in supply to the right – the amount producers wish to sell at every price increases
• HINT: Be careful to not confuse supply going ‘up’ and ‘down’ with the direction of the shift!

Changes in any of the factors affecting supply other than price will cause the entire supply curve to shift. A shift to the left results in a lower supply at each price; a shift to the right indicates a greater supply at each price.

Factors which affect supply
• Costs of production• Size and nature of the industry (e.g.
competition)• Lack of raw materials (oil, ore, coal, gas,
diamonds, land• Government policy e.g. VAT/Tax
