Shifting the supply curve: A change in something other than price that affects supply and causes the entire supply curve to shift · A shift to right S1 to S3 is an increase in supply · A shift to the left S1 to S2 is a decrease in supply As the supply curve shifts the quantity supplied will change , even if the price doesn’t change The quantity supplied changes at every possible price Factors influence market supply: 1.Price of input 2.Technological change 3.Price of substitutes in production 4.Number of firms in market 5.Expected future prices Market equilibrium: putting demand and supply together Market equilibrium is a situation in which quantity demanded is equal to quantity supplied , there are 25 firms selling smart watches so we can assume that is enough to generate competitive behavior in the market for smart watches. Here we are considering market equilibrium by taking price 0- $500 on y-axis and quantity of smart watches( per week ) Considering price at $350 consumers want to buy 5 million smart watches and producers want to sell 5 million smart watches. And we say equilibrium price in this market is $350 and the equilibrium quantity in 5 million smart watches per week. Consider what if the price were $400 ? At a price of $400 consumer want to buy 4 million smart watches , while producers want to sell 6 million. This gives a surplus of 2 million smart watches : a situation in which quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded .
