What effect would a change in price of a commodity have on its supply?

  • A An increase in supply
  • B No change in supply
  • C A decrease in supply
  • D A change in the quantity supplied

The correct answer is D. A change in the quantity supplied

A change in the price of a good or service, holding all else constant, will result in a movement along the supply curve. A change in the cost of an input will impact the cost of producing a good and will result in a shift in supply; supply will shift outward if costs decrease and will shift inward if they increase.
