When demand curve intersects the supply curve.
A surplus of goods occur
When demand equals supply.
The quantity supplied in a market at some specific price must be less than the quantity demanded for a shortage to occur.
In a market system, price fluctuations must occur for quantity demanded to continually be equated with quantity supplied.
Disequilibrium price refers to a situation in a market where the price of a good or service does not equal the level at which supply and demand are balanced. This can occur when the price is set too high, leading to excess supply (surplus), or too low, resulting in excess demand (shortage). In such cases, market forces typically drive the price towards equilibrium, where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.

Surpluses and shortages are examples of disequilibrium because they occur when the quantity supplied does not equal the quantity demanded at a given price. A surplus arises when supply exceeds demand, leading to excess inventory, while a shortage occurs when demand surpasses supply, resulting in unmet consumer needs. Both situations indicate that the market is not in a state of balance, prompting adjustments in price or quantity to restore equilibrium. Ultimately, these imbalances signal the need for market corrections to align supply and demand.
Excess supply occurs when, at a given time, the equilibrium price of the market is less than the price that the goods are supplied at.
The equilibrium price would decrease, but the impact on the amount sold in the market would be ambiguous.
A surplus occurs when the quantity demanded is less than the quantity supplies. Producers may lower prices when they are left with a surplus of products.
The ceiling price (maximum price) is set by the government. It is set below the equilibrium price (because if it were above, there will be a surplus and equilibrium will be stored due to market forces). It is illegal to sell any item above the maximum price. By setting a maximum price, a shortage is created - since quantity demanded is greater than quantity supplied. The purpose of maximum price is to ensure that the price of goods is affordable, especially for poorer families. Unfortunately, by setting a maximum price, there is a possibility that a black market will arise since there will be large numbers of unsatisfied and better-off customers who are willing to pay more than the government-set price. The floor price (minimum price) is another price control that the government uses. It is set above the equilibrium price. Because quantity demanded is less than quantity supplied, a surplus is created. These surplus goods are usually stockpiled by the Government. The purpose of a minimum price is to protect producers from receiving low prices for their produce.
