What is the difference between the quantity supplied of corn and the supply of corn? What could cause a rise in the quantity supplied of corn, and what could cause a rise in the supply of corn? How would these changes be shown graphically using a supply curve?

What will be an ideal response?


The quantity supplied of corn is the number of bushels that corn farmers want to sell under the current market conditions, while the supply of corn is a set of price-quantity pairs showing the amounts that farmers wish to sell at various hypothetical prices. According to the law of supply,
a rise in the price of corn will cause a rise in the quantity supplied of corn. Non-price factors that positively affect corn growers (such as improved weather conditions, better agricultural technology, and lower costs of fertilizer, seed, labor, and other inputs) would cause a rise in the supply of corn. A rise in quantity supplied is shown by moving up and to the right along the supply curve, and a rise in supply is shown by shifting the supply curve down and to the right.
