A more efficient means of processing algae to produce an anticancer drug is discovered. As a result, the supply curve for the drug will: __________

a. shift to the right, increasing the price of the drug.
b. shift to the left, increasing the price of the drug.
c. shift to the right, decreasing the price of the drug
d. shift to the left, decreasing the price of the drug.

Respuesta :

Answer:

c

Explanation:

As a result of an increase in efficiency in production, there would be an increase in supply. As a result, there would be an outward shift of the supply curve. When the supply curve shifts outward, supply increases and prices of drugs fall.

On the other hand, if there is an inward shift of the supply curve, the supply of drugs would fall and the price of drugs would increase

Please check the attached image showing a graph of a decrease in supply
