OBJECTIVE 

Students shall be able to

  1. identify market equilibrium,

  2. identify market equilibrium graphically,

  3. define equilibrium price,

  4. define equilibrium quantity,

  5. name the two forces that are equal at equilibrium,

  6. explain why the equilibrium price is special,

  7. define surplus,

  8. define shortage,

  9. identify surplus graphically,

  10. identify shortage graphically,

  11. identify the effect of changes in supply and demand on equilibrium price and quantity, and

  12. define indeterminate.

 

ACTIVITIES
