Expert Solution
Step 1

Demand and supply

  • The relationship between the quantity of a good that producers want to sell at different prices and the quantity that customers desire to purchase in the field of economics.
  • It is the primary price determination model employed in economic principles. A market's relationship between supply and demand affects a commodity's price.
  • The price that results from this is known as an equilibrium price, and it shows a contract between the good's producers and customers.
  • In equilibrium, the amount of a good that producers supply, as well as the amount that consumers desire, are equal.
