AGGREGATE SUPPLY SHIFTS: Changes in the aggregate supply determinants can shift either the short-run aggregate supply curve and the long-run aggregate supply curve. The mechanism is comparable to that for market supply determinants and market supply. We have two options -- an increase in aggregate supply and a decrease in aggregate supply. An increase in resource quantity or quality or a decrease in resource prices shift the aggregate supply curves to right. A decrease in resource quantity or quality or an increase in resource prices shift the aggregate supply curves to left.

- At 90 cents, the quantity demanded is 0 tapes and the quantity supplied is 800 tapes. This is not a suitable price, either. The sellers can't sell all that they want.
- Buyers or sellers are not satisfied at these prices and will take corrective action.
