Detailed explanation-2: -The law of supply states that there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. In other words, when the price increases the quantity supplied also increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -If there is an increase in supply for goods and services while demand remains the same, prices tend to fall to a lower equilibrium price and a higher equilibrium quantity of goods and services.

Detailed explanation-4: -The law of supply states that a higher price leads to a higher quantity supplied and that a lower price leads to a lower quantity supplied.

Detailed explanation-5: -a) The “law of supply” states that as price rises, quantity supplied also rises. b) If the marginal cost of producing a good is higher at high levels of output than at low levels of output, then the supply curve for that good is upward sloping.
