Answer to Question 1

For firms to produce more of a good per time period they have to purchase more materials, hire more labor, and purchase other inputs used to make the good. To get the producer to pay these higher costs it is necessary to increase the price the seller receives for each unit sold. Firms will also increase quantity supplied if the price of that good increases, allowing the firm to gain additional profits. The profits are incentives for the supplier to produce more.
