    • Market Equilibrium
    • If Price Is Below The Equilibrium
    • If Price Is Above The Equilibrium

    Market equilibrium can be shown using supply and demand diagrams In the diagram below, the equilibrium price is P1. The equilibrium quantity is Q1.

    In the above diagram, price (P2) is below the equilibrium. At this price, demand would be greater than the supply. Therefore there is a shortage of (Q2 – Q1)
    If there is a shortage, firms will put up prices and supply more. As price rises, there will be a movement along the demand curve and less will be demanded.
    Therefore the price will rise to P1 until there is no shortage and supply = demand.
    If price was at P2, this is above the equilibrium of P1. At the price of P2, then supply (Q2) would be greater than demand (Q1) and therefore there is too much supply. There is a surplus. (Q2-Q1)
    Therefore firms would reduce price and supply less. This would encourage more demand and therefore the surplus will be eliminated. The new market equilibrium will be at Q3 and P1.
