MARKET EQUILIBRIUM
❖ Market equilibrium is when quantity demanded =
quantity supplied.
❖ The Equilibrium price is the market price at which the
quantity of a product demanded is equal to its quantity
supplied.
❖ The Equilibrium quantity is the quantity demanded and
supplied both will be same at equilibrium price. In this
case there will neither be an oversupply nor a shortage.
