Detailed explanation-1: -Technological advances that improve production efficiency will shift a supply curve to the right. The cost of production goes down, and consumers will demand more of the product at lower prices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Technological change impacts the price of goods by lowering it since it reduces the cost of producing the same good. This is because it utilizes the same number of inputs but produces more output, which necessitates that producers lower the price they charge.

Detailed explanation-3: -New technology often has a positive effect on production because better equipment can produce more units per hour than outdated equipment. Quality may improve as well because a lot of technology has created machinery to be more precise during production.
