Equilibrium Price

The equilibrium price is the price at which quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.

The equilibrium price is the price that balances the quantity demanded by consumers with the quantity supplied by producers. At this price, the market is in equilibrium, and there are no shortages or surpluses. The equilibrium price is determined by the intersection of the demand and supply curves.
