Question
When does 'shift' in supply curve take place?
Solution
The supply curve shifts when there is a change in the quantity of good supplied, other than the own price of the good. An increase in supply will lead to a forward shift in the supply curve and a decrease in supply will lead to a backward shift in the supply curve.
