Demand and Supply (Graph)

Graph shows the relation between Supply and Demand:

  • Equilibrium - it is the point at which the supply curve and the demand curve intersect
    • means all resources are being used efficiently
  • Shortage - QD > QS
    • Quantity of demand is greater than the quantity of supply
    • excess demand
  • SURPLUS - QS > QD
    • Quantity of supply is greater than the quantity of demand
    • excess supply

Graph shows a Price Floor
  • Price Floor - a government price control on how low a price can be charged for a product
    • ex : minimum wage


Graph shows a Price Ceiling
  • Price Ceiling - a government imposed limit on how high a price is charged
    • ex : rent control
