Firm a is a new producer in the market for good​ x, which is characterized by linear demand and supply curves.​ initially, to attract​ customers, the firm prices its product low at​ $8 per unit. while the firm sells​ 1,000 units of the product at this​ price, there is a shortage in the market. this shortage can be cleared if price is increased to​ $10 per unit. the quantity demanded and supplied at this higher price will be​ 1,500 units.

i believe the information above is best supported by; the fact that producer surplus will increase if the price rises from $ 8 per unit to $10. This is due to the fact that there is a shortage in the market therefore demand will increase, this results to customers wanting to buy at a higher price than the initial cost, to satisfy their demand and need
