Answer to Question 1

The supply of a nonrenewable natural resource depends on the total known amount, such as the known oil reserves in the market for oil. It also depends on the scale of current production facilities, which determines the marginal cost of producing the resource. For instance, when more oil wells are sunk, the supply of oil increases. The expected future price also affects the supply. The higher the future expected price, the smaller the present supply of the resource.
