Question:

The Law of supply?

My Econ teacher told me that the law of supply stated that as supply increases, so does price. I can't understand this though. It doesn't make sense it completely defeats the ideaology behind wholesale. According to this, a Bentley should cost less than a Hynduai. Could someone please explain.

  1. as supply increases and the merchant notices it selling they raise prices to turn a profit. but conversely bentley's are in short supply you have to also remember the value of rarity. people will pay more for things that are in scarce and unique.


  2. "Other things remaining the same when price increases so the supply increases and vice verse" this is law of supply.

    I think there is some mis-communication b/w your wording and your teacher's wording. Actually when price increases so the supply increases. Because when price increases suppliers sees more revenue/profit as we all know the TR = P.Q so the suppliers increase the supply.

    I hope now you will understand Law of supply.
