Micro Economics: Market Equilibrium

Question:

Consider a market consisting of two farms producing same quality of jowar. The market demand curve and the market supply curve for rice are given by:

qD = 250 – p 

qS = 150 + p 

At price of 125, there will be

Options:

Equilibrium

Excess Demand

Excess Supply

Can’t Say

Correct Answer:

Excess Supply

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Excess Supply

Putting p = 125 in both equations of demand and supply.

Qd= 250-p

=250-125

= 125.

Qs = 150+p

= 150 + 125

= 275.

Since supply is greater than demand, there will be excess supply of 150 (275-125) at the price of 125.
