  2. 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 ...

  3. 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.

  4. Cobweb model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobweb_model

    The equilibrium price is at the intersection of the supply and demand curves. A poor harvest in period 1 means supply falls to Q 1 , so that prices rise to P 1 . If producers plan their period 2 production under the expectation that this high price will continue, then the period 2 supply will be higher, at Q 2 .

  5. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The supply curve, shown in orange, intersects with the demand curve at price (Pe) = 80 and quantity (Qe)= 120. Pe = 80 is the equilibrium price at which quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. Similarly, Qe = 120 is the equilibrium quantity at which the quantity demanded and supplied are at the equilibrium price.

  6. Price floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_floor

    The equilibrium price, commonly called the "market price", is the price where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change, often described as the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal (in a perfectly ...

  7. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The supply and demand model describes how prices vary as a result of a balance between product availability and demand. 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).

  8. Effect of taxes and subsidies on price - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_taxes_and...

    The original equilibrium price is $3.00 and the equilibrium quantity is 100. The government then levies a tax of $0.50 on the sellers. This leads to a new supply curve which is shifted upward by $0.50 compared to the original supply curve. The new equilibrium price will sit between $3.00 and $3.50 and the equilibrium quantity will decrease.

  9. Price controls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_controls

    The equilibrium price, commonly called the "market price", is the price where economic forces such as supply and demand are balanced and in the absence of external influences the (equilibrium) values of economic variables will not change, often described as the point at which quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal (in a perfectly ...
