When the price is above the equilibrium, explain how market forces move the market price to equilibrium. Do the same when the price is below the equilibrium.
Step 1: Draw a supply-and-demand diagram. Price is on the vertical axis, quantity is on the horizontal axis, demand is downward-sloping, supply is upward- sloping, and be sure to label equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity.

The island nation of Coconutistan recently suffered an unfortunate accident which took its water treatment plant offline, leaving residents without clean water in their homes. The plant for bottling water was unaffected by the accident. The graph shows the supply and demand for bottled water before the accident. Assume that $6 is the maximum price for a case of bottled water according to the price gouging laws on the island. Shift one or more curves to show the effect of the accident on the market for bottled water.
