There is a direct relationship between the price of a commodity and its quantity offered for sale over a specified period of time. When the price of a goods rises other things remaining the same its quantity which is offered for sale increases and as price falls the amount available for sale decreases. This relationship between prices and the quantities which suppliers are prepared to offer for sale is called the law of supply.
