Answer 1

move along upwards

shift out

shift in

Step-by-step explanation:

A change in price of a good leads to a movement along the supply curve and not a shift of the supply curve.

Other factors other than a change in the price of the good would lead to a shift of the supply curve. Such factors include :

1. A change in the price of input
2. A change in the number of suppliers
3. Government regulations

When the price of corn increases, the quantity supplied of corn increases. this is in line with the law of supply.

according to the law of supply, the higher the price, the higher the quantity supplied and the lower the price, the lower the quantity supplied.

This would lead to a movement up along the supply curve

If the price of seed which is an input to corn decreases, it becomes cheaper to produce corn. As a result, the supply of corn would increase. this would lead to an outward shift of the supply curve.

If the number of grocery stores decreases, there would be a reduction in supply. As a result, the supply curve would shift inwards
