Exam practice: Using appropriate demand diagrams, explain the impact on the demand for Apple smartphones in the following cases: 1. An increase in the price of Apple smartphones. 2. An increase in the price of Samsung smartphones. 3. An increase in consumer incomes. 4. A successful advertising campaign promoting Samsung's latest smartphones. The meaning of supply: Supply refers to the ability and willingness of firms to provide goods and services at various price levels. Firms will have more incentives to supply their products at higher prices. The higher the price, the higher the profits they can earn. There are several reasons for this relationship: 1. Terms and conditions: Higher prices allow firms to negotiate better terms and conditions. 2. Existing firms: Existing firms can expand their production capacity if the higher price allows them to do so. 3. New firms: Higher prices attract new firms to enter the market and increase production.
