Study Notes
Market Price Concepts
- Disequilibrium occurs when quantity supplied does not equal quantity demanded, indicating an imbalance in the market.
- Equilibrium is established when supply and demand intersect, reflecting a stable market condition.
Market Dynamics
- Excess supply leads to a decrease in price to achieve equilibrium; prices need adjustment to match demand.
- An equilibrium point on a graph is defined as the intersection of the supply curve and the demand curve.
Supply and Demand Interactions
- When quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded, the price of goods must be decreased to reach equilibrium.
- A limited supply of goods suggests the presence of excess demand, where more consumers want goods than are available.
Equilibrium in Graphs
- In a graph depicting equilibrium, "Q" represents the quantity supplied at the equilibrium point.
- The y-axis typically shows "P," which indicates the price at the equilibrium point where supply meets demand.
Characteristics of Market Equilibrium
- During market equilibrium, supply and demand meet at a particular price and quantity.
- Notable characteristics of excess supply include stable prices and opportunities for increased production when demand is insufficient.
Demand Law Connection
- The law of demand establishes that lower prices lead to higher quantities demanded; this principle is crucial during periods of excess demand.
