What best explains a shift in market supply curve to the right?
A
An advertising campaign is successful in promoting the good
B
A new technique makes it cheaper to produce the good
C
The government introduces a tax on the good
D
The price of raw materials increases
Correct Answer: A new technique makes it cheaper to produce the good
