What to Focus On

  • Equilibrium price means quantity demanded = quantity supplied.
  • Market equilibrium is the state when demand equals supply.
  • No excess demand and no excess supply exist at equilibrium.
  • Equilibrium is found at the intersection of demand and supply curves.
  • At equilibrium, demand = supply.
  • Below equilibrium price, excess demand pushes price up.
  • Excess demand: Qd > Qs.
  • Excess supply: Qs > Qd.
  • Excess demand causes price to rise.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Equilibrium price is the price set by the seller or fixed by the buyer.

If price is above equilibrium, there must be excess demand.

If price is below equilibrium, there must be excess supply.
