If new manufacturers enter the computer industry, then (ceteris paribus):

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The prompt asks about what happens if new manufacturers enter the computer industry, with all else held constant (ceteris paribus).
First, consider the basic supply-side effect: an increase in the number of producers generally increases the total quantity supplied at each price. This is because more firms are contributing to production, which shifts the entire supply curve outward.
In this context, the presence of more manufacturers means the market is able to supply more computers at any given price, reflecting an expansion of supply.
Because the supply curve represents the relationship between price and quantity supplied, a higher quantity supplied across prices translates into a rightward shift of the supply curve, not a movement along the curve.
The provided answer states: 'the supply curve shifts to the right.' This matches the standard economic intuition about entry of new firms increasing market supply.
Note on the missing options: the question as given does not include alternative answer choices to evaluate individually. In typical multiple-choice format, other plausible options might include statements like 'the supply curve shifts to the left' or 'the quantity supplied increases but the supply curve does not shift' or 'demand decreases'—each of which would be incorrect under the scenario of new entrants with ceteris paribus. However, since no alternative options are provided here, only the correct conceptual outcome can be confirmed: entry of new manufacturers expands supply, shifting the supply curve to the right.
