Question

If there's an upward pressure on price, how does this affect the supply side of the market?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Buyers will demand less of an economic good at higher prices, according to the law of demand. According to the law of supply, when prices rise, sellers will supply more of an economic good. These two laws interact to determine market prices and the volume of goods traded on a market. The Law of Demand states that if more people want to buy something and there is a limited supply, the price of that item will rise. According to the law of supply, a higher price induces producers to supply a greater quantity to the market.
