• Supply shows the relationship between price and quantity supplied
• Quantity supplied usually rises as price rises, ceteris paribus
• Supply can be represented by an upward-sloping supply curve
• Diagram: upward-sloping supply curve
• Market supply is derived from individual producers' supply
• Supply analysis distinguishes firm behaviour from total market behaviour
• Supply shifts with factor costs, related goods prices, indirect taxes, subsidies, future price expectations, technology, and number of firms
• Related goods include joint and competitive supply cases
• A price change causes movement along a supply curve
• Non-price determinants shift the supply curve
