Profit Motive

Explanation:

The amount of a resource that producers, firms and economic agents are able and willing to provide to the marketplace is known as Supply. If the suppliers are receiving great incentive to produce more then they will increase the production and it will increase the supply. A business man's goal to earn profit is called profit motive. In free enterprise the profit motive allows the businesses to compete with each other.
