Tarjonnta

Tarjonnta is a Finnish term that translates to "offering" or "supply" in English, primarily used in economic and business contexts. It refers to the amount of a good or service that producers are willing and able to sell at various price levels during a specific period. The concept of tarjonnta is a fundamental element of market economics, closely linked with the concept of kysyntä (demand).

The law of tarjonnta states that, all other factors being equal, as the price of a good or service increases, the quantity supplied will also increase. Conversely, if the price decreases, the quantity supplied will decrease. This relationship is typically depicted as an upward-sloping curve on a supply-demand graph. Factors that can influence tarjonnta include the cost of production (labor, raw materials), technological advancements, government policies (subsidies, taxes), and the number of sellers in the market.

In a broader sense, tarjonnta can also refer to the range of products or services available from a particular company or in a specific market. For instance, a company might have a diverse tarjonnta of electronic devices, or a city might have a rich tarjonnta of cultural events. Understanding tarjonnta is crucial for businesses to determine optimal pricing and production levels, and for economists to analyze market behavior and predict price fluctuations.
