Question:

_____________ refers to the total supply of a commodity by all the firms in the industry at a given price?

Options:

Market price

Market equilibrium

Market supply

Market demand

Correct Answer:

Market supply

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Market supply

Market supply refers to the total quantity of a commodity supplied by all firms in an industry at a given price. It is the sum of individual firm supplies at each price level.

Let's analyze the other options:

  • Market price – Incorrect, as this refers to the price at which goods are sold in the market, not the total supply.
  • Market equilibrium – Incorrect, as this refers to the point where market demand equals market supply, determining the equilibrium price and quantity.
  • Market demand – Incorrect, as this refers to the total quantity of a commodity that consumers are willing to buy at a given price, not the supply.
