  3. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The graph depicts an increase (that is, right-shift) in demand from D 1 to D 2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S). A common and specific example is the supply-and-demand graph shown at right.

  4. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...

  5. Price controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls

    A government-set minimum wage is a price floor on the price of labour. A price floor is a government- or group-imposed price control or limit on how low a price can be charged for a product, [21] good, commodity, or service. A price floor must be higher than the equilibrium price in order to be effective. The equilibrium price, commonly called ...

  6. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    The equilibrium price in the market is $5.00 where demand and supply are equal at 12,000 units; If the current market price was $3.00 – there would be excess demand for 8,000 units, creating a shortage. If the current market price was $8.00 – there would be excess supply of 12,000 units.

  7. Price support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_support

    In economics, a price support may be either a subsidy, a production quota, or a price floor, each with the intended effect of keeping the market price of a good higher than the competitive equilibrium level. In the case of a price control, a price support is the minimum legal price a seller may charge, typically placed above equilibrium.

  8. File:Surplus from Price Floor.svg - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Surplus_from_Price...

    English: An illustrative supply/demand graph, showing a price floor that has caused a market surplus (shaded in light blue). Line D (red) represents the demand (price vs. quantity demanded), line S (blue) represents the supply (price vs. quantity supplied), point E (black) is the equilibrium point, and line F (green, dashed) represents the price floor.

  9. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    When a non-price determinant of demand changes, the curve shifts. These "other variables" are part of the demand function. They are "merely lumped into intercept term of a simple linear demand function." [14] Thus a change in a non-price determinant of demand is reflected in a change in the x-intercept causing the curve to shift along the x ...
