Production And Costs

Question
CBSEENEC12013554

What is a supply schedule?  What is the effect on the supply of a good when Government gives a subsidy on the production of that good? Explain. 

Solution

Supply schedule is a table or schedule that illustrates the alternative quantities of a commodity supplied at different prices. If the data from the table is charted, it is known as a supply curve.
Example for a supply schedule:

Price Quantity Supplied
100 2000 units
110 2500 units
120 3000 units

When government gives subsidy for production, the revenue increases. When the Cost remains the same, profits rise, and as a result supply increases.
