The Supply Curve


On the left we see a supply curve.

As you can see, the supply curve goes up from left to right.

OK so far?



But.....

As the price rises, there will come a time when a lot of firms join the industry. Surely then the supply curve would flatten out?

Also, as production incrases, firms will get economies of scale - so surely the supply curve will shift to the right?

Thoughts...
