Combining Supply and
Demand
In this lesson, students will be able to identify
factors which lead to equilibrium or disequilibrium in
a market.
Students will be able to identify and/or define the
following terms:
Equilibrium
Disequilibrium
Excess Demand
Excess Supply
Price Ceiling
Price Floor
E. Napp
Do you notice the point where supply
and demand intersect?
E. Napp
Equilibrium
• When creating a demand curve and a
supply curve, there is a point where the
curves intersect. This point is the
equilibrium point.
• Equilibrium occurs when the quantity
demanded equals the quantity supplied.
• A market is stable at equilibrium.
E. Napp
If a seller has seven donuts on the shelf
at $1 per donut, and consumers only want
seven donuts at that price, then the market
is at equilibrium.
E. Napp
Disequilibrium
• A market is at disequilibrium when the
quantity demanded does not equal the
quantity supplied.
• If quantity demanded is greater than
quantity supplied, excess demand occurs.
• If quantity supplied is greater than quantity
demanded, excess supply occurs.
E. Napp
Low prices encourage consumers. Low
prices can create excess demand.
E. Napp
Excess Demand
• Excess demand, or a shortage, occurs
when the actual price is lower than the
equilibrium price.
• Low prices encourage demand.
• To fix this problem, prices must be raised.
E. Napp
If every parent wants to purchase this toy
for the holidays, excess demand can occur.
E. Napp
However, if no one is buying, then
excess supply occurs.
E. Napp
Excess Supply
• Excess supply, or surplus, occurs when
quantity supplied is greater than quantity
demanded.
• The actual price is higher than the
equilibrium price.
• To fix this problem, prices must be
lowered.
E. Napp
The day after Valentine’s Day, consumers
will not pay high prices for Valentine’s
candy.
E. Napp
Price Ceiling
• A price ceiling is the maximum price that
can be legally charged for a good or
service.
• The government interferes with market
equilibrium when it creates a price ceiling.
• Rent control is an example of a price
ceiling.
E. Napp
Rent control is an example of a price
ceiling.
E. Napp
E. Napp
Price Floor
• A price floor is the minimum price that can
be legally charged for a good or service.
• The government interferes with market
equilibrium when it creates a price floor.
• Minimum wage is an example of a price
floor.
E. Napp
E. Napp
The minimum wage is an example of
a price floor.

Questions for Reflection:
• When does equilibrium occur in a market?
• Why does excess demand create
disequilibrium in the market?
• Define excess supply.
• Why does the government place a price
ceiling on rent?
• How does rent control help some but hurt
others?
• Provide an example of a price floor.
