    Study Notes

    Market Price Determination

    • Prices are determined through the coordination of supply and demand, working together effectively.

    Disequilibrium Causes

    • Excess supply and excess demand arise from disequilibrium rather than equilibrium conditions.

    Price Adjustment

    • To reach equilibrium from excess supply, the price must be decreased.

    Equilibrium Point

    • An equilibrium point on a graph is established at the intersection of the supply and demand curves.

    Demand Curve Representation

    • The demand curve illustrates the demand component of the equilibrium.

    Definition of Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium is achieved when supply and demand intersect, indicating a balance in quantities.

    Impact of Price on Demand

    • When prices fall, the quantity demanded increases, explaining why prices below equilibrium lead to excess demand.

    Characteristics of Market Equilibrium

    • During market equilibrium, supply and demand meet at a specific price and quantity, reflecting balance in the market.

    Excess Demand Indicator

    • A limited amount of goods available indicates that excess demand is occurring in the market.

    Consequence of Supply and Demand Imbalance

    • When the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at a certain price, it results in excess supply, indicating a surplus in the market.
