Expert Solution
Step 1 Demand and Supply

Definitions:

  • Demand is defined as how much is the consumer willing to pay for consuming particular goods and services. According to the law of demand, quantity demanded increases as prices fall and quantity demanded declines as prices rise.
  • Supply is defined as how much is the producer willing to accept for selling a particular commodity. The quantity supplied increases as prices rise and the quantity supplied declines as prices fall.
  • The interaction of demand and supply gives rise to the equilibrium. At equilibrium, there is neither shortage (excess demand) nor surplus (excess supply) of goods.
