What happens when a supply curve shifts right?

What will be an ideal response?


When a supply curve shifts right (when supply increases), equilibrium price decreases, and equilibrium quantity increases. An example of this would be the increase in the supply of cell phone service. With the increase in supply, there is a new, increased equilibrium quantity, and a lower equilibrium price. More cell phone service providers mean more competition and increased quantity demanded, but lower prices.
