Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in the price of a complement good in production would not cause the supply curve for Good R to shift. This is because complements in production are goods that are produced together. If the price of a complement increases, it might make producing Good R more profitable (if they are produced together), rather than directly affecting the supply of Good R in a way that would shift its supply curve. The other options directly impact the cost or ability to produce Good R, thus affecting its supply.
