Especially good weather conditions arrive for a growing season, with no other change in farming costs or technology. What does this do to the supply curve for the affected crop?
AShifts the supply curve to the left
BShifts the supply curve to the right
CProduces a movement along the demand curve
DShifts the demand curve to the right
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Shifts the supply curve to the right
1. Weather is a natural condition and a recognized supply determinant.
2. Good weather raises the quantity that can be produced and supplied at every price.
3. A curve showing a higher quantity supplied at every price has shifted to the right.
4. This is a supply-side event, so it does not touch the demand curve, ruling out options C and D.
