    Question

    __________ is the price where the quantity the consumer purchases is equal to the quantity the producers supply.

    A.

    Surplus price

    B.

    Equilibrium price

    C.

    Total price

    D.

    Product price

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) Equilibrium Price.

    Explanation:

    •  The equilibrium price is the price at which the quantity demanded by consumers equals the quantity supplied by producers in a market.
    • At this price, there is no excess supply or demand. It is the price that clears the market, where the intentions of both buyers and sellers align.
    • At equilibrium, the forces of supply and demand are balanced, and there is no pressure for the price to change unless there is a shift in either supply or demand.

    Information Booster:

    Market Dynamics:

    • When the price is above equilibrium, a surplus occurs, and producers may lower the price to sell the excess supply.
    • When the price is below equilibrium, a shortage occurs, and consumers may compete for the limited supply, pushing the price up.
