Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I foresee gas prices rising tremendously in the next summer. I as a gas supplier, want to cut my supply now so gas prices continue to rise. What supply factor does this best relate to?
A
Change in Technology
B
Government Action
C
Change in Seller Expectations
D
None of the above
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: -A positive change in supply when demand is constant shifts the supply curve to the right, which results in an intersection that yields lower prices and higher quantity. A negative change in supply, on the other hand, shifts the curve to the left, causing prices to rise and the quantity to decrease.

Detailed explanation-3: -An increase in the number of sellers supplying a good or service shifts the supply curve to the right; a reduction in the number of sellers shifts the supply curve to the left.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Law of Supply states that other factors remaining constant, price and quantity supplied of a good are directly related to each other. In other words, when the price paid by buyers for a good rise, then suppliers increase the supply of that good in the market.
