We've seen that when demand changes, both price and quantity
change in the same direction. What happens when supply changes?
While many factors can affect supply, primarily we focus on the
effects of changes in production costs or changes in the market price of other outputs. We learned that an increase in production costs
will shift supply back, or decrease supply. Supply will also decrease
if the market price of another good sold by the same firm rises.
