question
True
False
Unsure
The statement is false. At any price below the equilibrium price, there is an excess demand for the good, leading to a
shortage. Market forces then drive the price upward to eliminate the shortage and restore equilibrium.
, Adjustment process:
To eliminate the shortage, market forces drive the price upward:
Consumers bid up prices: As consumers compete to purchase the limited supply, they are willing to pay higher
prices.
Quantity demanded decreases: As prices rise, some consumers are no longer willing or able to buy the good,
reducing the quantity demanded.
Quantity supplied increases: As prices rise, producers are more willing to supply the good, increasing the quantity
supplied.
These adjustments continue until the price returns to the equilibrium level, where the quantity supplied equals the
quantity demanded, and the shortage is eliminated.
Question 3 Equilibrium is often observed in our daily lives.

question
True
False
Unsure
The statement is false. Market equilibrium, a fundamental concept in economics, occurs when the quantity of goods
supplied equals the quantity of goods demanded at a particular price. However, in the real world things are
continuously changing so is difficult to pinpoint when a market is in equilibruim.
Question 4 A market can only be in equilibrium if the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied.

The statement is true. A market is considered to be in equilibrium when the quantity of goods supplied equals the
quantity of goods demanded at a particular price.

question
True
False
Unsure
The statement is true. Equilibrium in a market context refers to a state where all opposing economic forces are
balanced, leading to a stable situation where there is no inherent tendency for change. This balance occurs when the
quantity of goods or services demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by producers, resulting in stable
prices and quantities.
Given the demand for a product as Qd = 50 - 8P and the supply is given as Qs = -17,5 + 10P. You are told equilibrium is
obtained at the point where Qd = Qs. The equilibrium price for the product is
