Commodity Supply & Prices
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Supply, in economics, is defined as the total quantity of a product that sellers are prepared to offer to consumers at different prices over a given period. Supply is described within the context of a supply curve, which is similar in concept to a demand curve. Where demand curves slope downward and to the right, supply curves slope upward and to the right. Over the longer-term, demand curves slope downward and to the right as the price on the Y Axis decreases and the quantity demanded on the X Axis increases. Within this context, demand is a function of priceˇthe lower the price, the greater will be the demand until the market becomes saturated. Conversely, over the longer-term, supply curves slope upward and to the right as the price on the Y Axis increases and the quantity made available increases. Within this context, supply is a function of priceˇthe higher the price, the more of the product sellers will place on the market until either the market is saturated or the sellers are no longer able to produce any greater quantities of the product. Price reflects the equilibrium point (or intersection) of the demand and supply curves for a product. Price is defined as the quantity of money which must be exchanged for one unit of a good or service. A price system is a process of resource allocation in an economy. In a market economy, prices are determined in the market by the forces of supply and demand, without government interventionˇfor the most part.

in of $800 has been realized. If, over that same 10 year time period, however, a 100 percent price inflation has occurred in the economy, the $900 received in year ten had a purchasing power of only $450 in year one dollars. The real capital gain in year one dollars, therefore, was $350, as opposed to the nominal capital gain of $800 in year ten dollars. An alternative method of determining the amount of the real capital gain in this example involves the revaluation of the acquisition price into year ten dollars. In this instance, the acquisition price would be adjusted to $200, and the real capital gain in year ten dollars would be $700.
A effects on incomes are comparable to the effect on capital gains explained in the preceding paragraph. If the rate of inflation during the period in which a nominal income gain occurred was greater that the proportion increase in incomes during that period, real incomes would actually fall, as nominal incomes rose. Even if the rate of inflation were less than the proportional increase in incomes, the real income gain would be less than the nominal income gain by the proportion of the nominal income gain that could be attributed to inflation.
Inflation has a greater impact on some people
