What will happen to the supply of chocolate candy bars when the price of cocoa, used in the production of chocolate, increases by 20%?
When the price of cocoa rises by 20%, the supply of chocolate candy bars declines on a relative basis and the price of chocolate candy bar increases.
This can be shown with the help of a supply demand chart below.
The initial supply and demand curve for chocolate candy bars is given by S and D respectively with equilibrium price and quantity at P1 and Q1 respectively.
When the price of cocoa rises by 20%, the production of chocolate candy bars declines on a relative basis due to higher input cost. This translates into shifting of the supply curve to the left from S to S1.
It is important to note that the quantity supplied declines to Q2 while the price rises to P2 on the back of lower supply and higher price of cocoa.
Further, based on the price elasticity of supply, one can calculate the percentage decline in supply when the price of cocoa (key raw material) increases by 20%.
