Questions to Think About
Directions: Use the information on the supply schedule to answer
these questions and to create a supply curve on the grid.
1. What two kinds of information are given on this supply schedule?
2. How many sets of headphones per month does the company
supply at a price of $20?
3. How many headphones per month would the company supply if
the price were $55 each?
4. Create a supply curve. Place a point on the graph for each price
and number of sets. Connect the points to create the supply curve.
5. Describe whether the curve moves up or down from left to right.
6. Why does the supply curve move in this direction?
