- Excess Demand exists if at a particular price the amount of a good demanded exceeds the amount supplied, i.e. people want to buy more of the good at a particular price than people want to sell at that price. . Excess Supply exists if at a particular price the amount of a good demanded is less than the amount supplied. i.e. people want to sell more of the good at a particular price than people want to buy at that price. Understanding how the forces of Excess Supply or Excess Demand move a market to equilibrium in the real world involves imagining how suppliers and demands (sellers and buyers) will act to make themselves richer and happier when the price is above the equilibrium price (Excess Supply) or below the equilibrium price (Excess Demand).

The cigarette demand is QD = 12 − P , and the cigarette supply is Qs = 2P . Find the equilibrium price and quantity in the black market. The government becomes aware of the black market and reinforces the police so that half of the cigarette supply would be seized and destroyed. Under this circumstance, what are the demand and supply functions? What is the new equilibrium price and quantity? Show the change by using a supply and demand diagram.arrow_forwardIn a competitive market, if the government imposes a price ceiling below the equilibrium price, what is likely to happen?A.
