Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The law of supply says that a higher price will induce producers to supply a higher quantity to the market. Because businesses seek to increase revenue, when they expect to receive a higher price for something, they will produce more of it.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Law of Supply states that there is a direct relationship between the market price of a good or service and the quantity of that good or service that producers are willing and able to produce.

Detailed explanation-3: -There is an inverse relationship between the supply and prices of goods and services when demand is unchanged. 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 there is a direct relationship between price and quantity supplied. In other words, when the price increases the quantity supplied also increases.
