  • Willingness to Accept (WTA)

Supply Curve

A supply curve, also known as a supply function, illustrates the number of units of a product that would be supplied to the market at any given price. A distinction is made between an individual firm's supply curve, which shows the output from a single producer, and the market supply curve (or industry supply curve), which represents the total number of units supplied by all sellers in the market.
