Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Any change in the cost of an input used to produce a good-such as raw materials, machinery, or labor-will affect supply. A rise in the cost of an input will cause a fall in supply at all price levels because the good has become more expensive to produce.

Detailed explanation-2: -Elasticity of supply is a measure of the way quantity supplied reacts to a change in price.

Detailed explanation-3: -An increase in price almost always leads to an increase in the quantity supplied of that good or service, while a decrease in price will decrease the quantity supplied.

Detailed explanation-4: -Conversely, a variable cost is dependent on the production output level of goods and services. Unlike a fixed cost, a variable cost is always fluctuating. This cost rises as the production output level rises and decreases as the production output level decreases.
