Key points
There is a four-step process that allows us to predict how an event will affect the equilibrium price and quantity using the supply and demand framework.
Step one: draw a market model (a supply curve and a demand curve) representing the situation before the economic event took place.
Step two: determine whether the economic event being analyzed affects demand...
Key points
Supply and demand curves intersect at the equilibrium price. This is the price at which we would predict the market will operate.
Where demand and supply intersect
Because the graphs for demand and supply curves both have price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal axis, the demand curve and supply curve for a particular good or service can...

In a competitive market, demand for and supply of a good or service determine the equilibrium price.
Equilibrium
MARKETS: Equilibrium is achieved at the price at which quantities demanded and supplied are equal. We can represent a market in equilibrium in a graph by showing the combined price and quantity at which the supply and demand curves intersect.
For example, imagine...
