b. a supply curve is higher than a demand curve.
c. the supply and demand curves head up.
d. the supply and demand curves head down.
a. a supply curve and a demand curve meet.
On a graph, a(n) _____shows the demand portion of equilibrium.
a. demand curve
b. supply curve
c. equilibrium point

a. demand curve
Equilibrium is defined when
a. supply is limited and demand decreases.
b. supply and demand meet.
c. demand is higher than supply.
d. supply is higher than demand.
b. supply and demand meet.
The graph shows excess demand.
Which explains why the price indicated by p2 on the graph is lower than the
equilibrium price?
a. As prices fall, quantity demanded goes up.
