Supply ?

Supply refers to the amount of a particular good or service that is available for purchase or consumption. It is determined by factors such as production capacity, availability of raw materials, and market demand. The law of supply states that as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied also increases, and vice versa. The supply curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between price and quantity supplied.
