Expert Solution
Step 1

Demand represents the desire that is backed by the purchasing power and the willingness to pay of the consumer. The law of demand states that there is a negative relationship between the price and quantity demanded of a product, other factors remaining the same.
Supply is the quantity supplied by a seller at a particular price. The law of supply states that there is a positive relationship between the price and quantity supplied of that product, other factors remaining the same.
