What is price equilibrium or market equilibrium?
Price equilibrium, or market equilibrium, occurs when the quantity of a good or service demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by producers at a specific price level. At this point, there is no tendency for the price to change, as the market clears, meaning all goods produced are sold. If the price is above equilibrium, excess supply leads to downward pressure on prices, while prices below equilibrium create excess demand, pushing prices up. Thus, market equilibrium represents a stable state in economic transactions.
What happens to the market when a price ceiling is imposed?
If the price ceiling is above equilibrium: no effect. If the price ceiling is below equilibrium: price lowers to the ceiling level and supply falls. There is too much demand for the current level of supply. A black market forms to capture unmet demand at high prices.
What happens is the price falls below the market clearing price and there is no equilibrium?
Quantity of demand increases and supplies decreases.
Why market prices are better than government determined prices?
Market prices tend to an equilibrium where buyers' demand for the good is worth less than the sellers' cost of supplying the good. Put another way, buyers are willing to pay less than the amount producers are willing to accept. Government sets its prices above or below this point. If the price is above the equilibrium buyers will demand less than producers supply. On the other hand, if price is below the equilibrium sellers will supply less than buyers demand.
A shortage will develop when?
The market price is below the equilibrium price.

A shortage will develop when?
The market price is below the equilibrium price.
Where is the price ceiling located on a graph depicting market equilibrium?
The price ceiling is located below the equilibrium price on a graph depicting market equilibrium.
How does a price ceiling undermine the rationing function of market-determined prices?
A price ceiling will undermine the rationing function of market-determined prices by creating a shortage. This is a price which is below equilibrium which will lead to more demand that supply that will cause a shortage.
What happens if the current price is below the equilibrium?
He or She will be arrested.
Where is the consumer surplus located on a graph depicting market equilibrium?
Consumer surplus is located above the market price and below the demand curve on a graph depicting market equilibrium.
What do you have when the actual price in a market is below the equilibrium price?
Excess Supply
Assume in a competitive market that price is initially below the equilibrium level. We can predict that price will?
In a competitive market, when the price is initially below the equilibrium level, there will be excess demand as consumers are willing to buy more at the lower price. This increased demand will lead to upward pressure on the price, as suppliers respond to the higher demand by raising their prices. Eventually, the price will rise until it reaches the equilibrium level, where quantity supplied equals quantity demanded.
What is the likely market response to a price that is set below equilibrium?
The most likely market response would be that competitors in the market would lower their prices to match or undercut the new price so they don't risk losing sales. If the competition is intense enough it could start a discount or price war resulting in prices continuing to fall.
