When the prices of inputs fall, supply increases. Supply curve shifts to SS' and at OP price there is excess supply equal to AB. This results in competition among sellers. Price starts falling, demand starts rising (extension) and supply starts falling (contraction) as shown by arrows. These changes continue till new price OP1 is reached. Market is in equilibrium again at a lower price and equilibrium quantity rises to OQ1.
