Supply Function indicates the relationship between the of the
commodity supplied and the of the commodity.

The of a supply curve is , as price
increases, quantity supplied increases and vice-versa.
The of the supply curve (0,b) represents the
at which an item will be supplied.

Normally, we put the good’s own price and cost into the supply function.
For the previous example that we use,
Qs=g(p, wage, capital cost)
When p increases, firms/producers want to produce more goods because it will provide them with more profit. When cost increase, produce would like to reduce their supply given same capital constraint.
So,
P increases ...=>... Quantity supplied increases along the supply curve.
Wage increases (cost increases) -=>-- supply curve shift to the left for same price.
An example of supply function:
Qs=178+40p-20w-60r
where of labor, for producer’s loan
When and



=
Suppose , then

=
So when , supply curve to the , which means that for a given price, producers will supply goods than before.
