Definition

Supply is the relationship between the price of a good or service and the quantity producers are willing and able to sell at each price, holding other factors constant.

Why It Matters

Supply helps determine market prices and quantities and explains how producers respond to incentives and costs.

Example

As the price of strawberries rises, farmers are willing to supply more strawberries.
