Demand, Supply, and Equilibrium

Demand, Supply, and Equilibrium
Demand, supply, and equilibrium are central concepts in microeconomics. Demand, D, generally increases as prices go down, while supply, S, usually increases as prices go up. The equilibrium point, E, shows the combination of price and quantity at which buyers and sellers agree.
