a supply curve and a demand curve
A supply curve and a demand curve.
Consumers have inelastic demand
the equilibrium price of a good or service
To determine the consumer surplus at equilibrium in a market, subtract the price that consumers are willing to pay from the actual market price. This calculation represents the benefit consumers receive from purchasing a good or service at a lower price than they are willing to pay.
To determine producer surplus at equilibrium, calculate the area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price. This represents the difference between the price producers are willing to accept and the price they actually receive, indicating their surplus.
The market price is below the equilibrium price.

It is how sellers determine the best possible price for their products for optimal profit.

the equilibrium price of a good or service
If we bring together the supply and demand curves onto one diagram, we find that they intersect at only one price. This is the market or equilibrium price. Only at this price is the quantity demanded equally to the quantity supplied. The equilibrium or market price is arrived at by a gradual process. If trading takes place at prices other than the market price, there will be either a shortage or a surplus, which will cause the price to move until it settles at the equilibrium level.
Price and quantity produced of any given product and service is dependent on multiple economic, social and political factors. Assuming ceteris parabus (all else being equal) the quantity of supply and demand determine the equilibrium point, or price of a good or service.
If demand is zero, then the equilibrium price is zero and it would be unwise to supply such a good or service.
