A new technology allows producers to increase supply very quickly.
Normally it's the other way 'round, the supply of a commodity determines the price. I assume if the price were out of line with the supply a lower price would decrease supply and a higher price would increase supply if increasing the supply were possible.
If supply of a commodity decreases, the supply will fall. Prices and supply of good have positive relationship.
Scarce natural resources make it more difficult for producers to keep up with demand.
Artificially keeping the price of a commodity below market value by governments (usually by selling massive quantities) is to try and achieve the appearance of a greater value in something else.
Suppliers supply more of the goods as and when prices of that commodity increases.

Any professional that owns a consumer type of business would want quotes on commodity futures. Commodity futures allow a contract holder to enter into agreements for a set price that will not fluctuate even if the pricing of said product goes up or down.
increased demand
D) there would be a shortage of widgets
The demand curve slopes downwards due to the following reasons (1) Substitution effect: When the price of a commodity falls, it becomes relatively cheaper than other substitute commodities. This induces the consumer to substitute the commodity whose price has fallen for other commodities, which have now become relatively expensive. As a result of this substitution effect, the quantity demanded of the commodity, whose price has fallen, rises. (2) Income effect: When the price of a commodity falls, the consumer can buy more quantity of the commodity with his given income, as a result of a fall in the price of the commodity, consumer's real income or purchasing power increases. This increase induces the consumer to buy more of that commodity. This is called income effect. (3) Number of consumers: When price of a commodity is relatively high, only few consumers can afford to buy it, And when its price falls, more numbers of consumers would start buying it because some of those who previously could not afford to buy may now afford to buy it, Thus, when the price of a commodity falls, the number of its consumers increases and this also tends to raise the market demand for the commodity.

The demand curve is the opposite of the supply curve and it assumes that the cheaper the goods become the more consumers will purchase Demand curve is slope downward because of inverse relationship between price and quantity. The demand curve slopes downwards due to the following reasons (1) Substitution effect: When the price of a commodity falls, it becomes relatively cheaper than other substitute commodities. This induces the consumer to substitute the commodity whose price has fallen for other commodities, which have now become relatively expensive.

(4) various uses of a commodity (5) law of diminishing marginal utility It is assumed that if all thinngs remain constant once the price of a good decreases you buy more hence the reason for the negative slope dowards of the demand curve
