Micro Economics: Market Equilibrium

Question:

Price of a commodity is determined where ____.

Options:

Demands exceeds supply

Supply exceeds demand

Supply equals demand

Any of the above

Correct Answer:

Supply equals demand

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3: Supply equals demand

  • The price of a commodity is determined at the equilibrium point, where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.
  • At this point, the market is in equilibrium, meaning there is no excess demand or excess supply.

Let's analyze the other options:

  • Demand exceeds supply – Incorrect, as this leads to shortages and rising prices, not equilibrium.
  • Supply exceeds demand – Incorrect, as this leads to surpluses and falling prices, not equilibrium.
