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

Correct answer is D

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.
