Why supply curve is upword?

A supply curve or schedule represents the quantity of goods suppliers are willing to sell at every price point. Thus, at a price of 0 dollars, suppliers would be willing to sell 0 of their good (they are getting no money!). If the price were say 1 dollar, only a small amt of supplier would be willing to sell their goods. As the price increases, suppliers are willing to sell more quantity of their good (they are getting more money per unit!) rather than hold onto their goods.


Why does the use of money contribute to economic efficiency?

The use of money increases economic efficiency because without it, we would be a barter system. In a barter system, if I want potatoes, and have oranges to trade, the person with the potatoes has to want oranges to be willing to trade with me. With the use of money, I can give him a known amount of value in money, which he can buy what he wants to with.
