Answer the question based on the accompanying list of items related to aggregate demand or aggregate supply. Changes in which combination of factors best explain why the aggregate supply curve would shift?

Explanation:

Hello, research into this question makes me believe that this is the list of factors. Hope I am right :)

Supply is the amount of goods and services suppliers are willing to provide at a given time for a given price. A shift in the supply curve to the left means that there is a fall in quantity supplied (occurs during unfavorable conditions) whereas a right-hand shift proves that there is an increase in quantity supplied (occurs during favorable conditions) . Factors that can cause a shift in the supply curve are as follows:

1. Government Spending:

If the government increases spending such as in the form of loans or subsidies, suppliers will be positively affected and causes a right-hand shift in the supply curve. However, if government spending falls, it would create a left-hand shift.

2. Degree of Excess Capacity:

This refers to the stock that can be withheld in a business. When there is a lot of excess capacity, there would be a right-hand shift in supply.

3. Productivity:

Higher productivity means that production is high, hence supply is high causing a right shift. On the other hand, lower productivity will create a left-hand shift.

4. Business Taxes:

Businesses are expected to pay taxes such as corporate taxes. When taxes are high, firms are discouraged since a lot of their earnings are paid as tax to the government. Thus supply will fall, leading to a left shift. On the other hand, when taxes are low, businesses are encouraged to produce more since they can now make higher profits. Thus, supply curve shifts to the right.

5. Domestic Resource Availability:

If domestic resources are used in production, such as land, labor or machinery, high availability of these will allow higher production and hence a shift in supply to the right. Lower availability will cause a left hand shift in the supply curve.

6. Prices of Imported Products:

If certain raw materials are important for production, rising prices of imported products will reduce supply as cost of production is higher, which causes supply to shift left. However, when prices of imported products fall, cost of production falls, causing a right hand shift in the supply curve.
