Detailed explanation-1: -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. Supply curves and supply schedules are tools used to summarize the relationship between supply and price.

Detailed explanation-2: -The higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied. Lower prices mean reduced supply, all else held equal. Higher prices give suppliers an incentive to supply more of the product or commodity, assuming their costs aren’t increasing as much. Lower prices result in a cost squeeze that curbs supply.

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: -A decrease in demand and an increase in supply will cause a fall in equilibrium price, but the effect on equilibrium quantity cannot be determined. 1. For any quantity, consumers now place a lower value on the good, and producers are willing to accept a lower price; therefore, price will fall.
