True
False
Unsure
The statement is false. At any price below the equilibrium price, there is an excess demand for the
good, leading to a shortage. Market forces then drive the price upward to eliminate the shortage and
restore equilibrium.
Adjustment process:
To eliminate the shortage, market forces drive the price upward:
• Consumers bid up prices: As consumers compete to purchase the limited supply, they are willing to
pay higher prices.
• Quantity demanded decreases: As prices rise, some consumers are no longer willing or able to buy
the good, reducing the quantity demanded.
• Quantity supplied increases: As prices rise, producers are more willing to supply the good,
increasing the quantity supplied.
These adjustments continue until the price returns to the equilibrium level, where the quantity supplied
equals the quantity demanded, and the shortage is eliminated.

The statement is true. Equilibrium in a market context refers to a state where all opposing economic
forces are balanced, leading to a stable situation where there is no inherent tendency for change. This
balance occurs when the quantity of goods or services demanded by consumers equals the quantity
supplied by producers, resulting in stable prices and quantities.
