Which one would NOT cause a shift in the supply curve?

Question

A change in the price of a good.

A change in the profits of sellers.

A change in technology.

A change in the number of sellers

Answer 1

A change in the price of a good would NOT cause a shift in the supply curve. Instead, it would lead to a movement along the supply curve.

The other options—changes in profits, technology, and the number of sellers—would all cause the supply curve to shift either to the left or to the right.
