DETERMINANTS OF
SUPPLY
1. PRICE OF PRODUCTION
INPUT
-Value added to raw materials
through the of production
Intermediate input – raw materials; these are still to be processed or transformed into
higher levels of output.
EXAMPLE;
LUMBER
OIL
MINERAL
FACTOR INPUT
processing or transforming input
EXAMPLES;
LABOR
CAPITAL
LAND
PRODUCTION INPUT
COST OF PRODUCTION QS

3. TECHNOLOGY
OBSOLETE TECHNOLOGY
- It refers to outdated computer hardware, software, technology,
services, or practices that are no longer used, even if they are in
working condition. A technology often becomes obsolete when
replaced by newer or better technology
4. EXPECTATION
•Anticipation on what is going to happen on the price of the commodity.
PFUTURE QS
PFUTURE QS
If there is an expectation that the market price for a certain commodity will
decrease in the future, then the present quantity supply
will rise resulting to shifting to the right of the supply curve. Conversely, if it is
anticipated that the price of the good
will increase in the future, suppliers may try to limit their supply in the market
so they can benefit of the expected
higher price. This will result to decline in the quantity supply of the good thus,
shifting the curve to the leave
5. AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS AND RESOURCES
6 NUMBER OF SELLER:
For examples, given here are the demand and supply function of
product X:
If we use the functions above, this will be the demand and supply
schedule which will be derived at certain prices .
EQUILIBRIUM IS ATTAINED WHEN QD=QS
Through computation using the functions:
Qd= 60- p\2 and Qs= 5 + 5P
60- P\2= 5+5P Using P=10, substitute P in the functions:
Qd=60-P/2
60-5=5P+5\2
Qd=60(10)/2
(2)55=5P+P\2 (2) Qd=60-5
Qd=55
110=10P + P Qs=5+5P
110/11=11P/11 Qs=5+5(10)
Qs=5+50
Qs=55
P=10
Equilibrium price is P10 and equilibrium
quantity is 55.
