Supply Function
Supply function is defined as a functional relationship between quantity supply of a commodity and its various determinants like price of the commodity, price of other goods, price of factors of production, etc.
Thus,
Qs= f(P, Po, Pf, G,.... )
where,
P= Price of goods,
Po= Price of other goods,
Pf = Price of factors of production,
G= Goal of the firm.
The above function is called multi-variable supply functions because there is a more than one determinants. For simplicity, in our study, it is reduced to single variable supply function as:
Q=f(P),
keeping other determinants same.
