  2. Economic equilibrium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_equilibrium

    In a monopoly, marginal revenue (MR) equals marginal cost (MC). The equilibrium quantity is obtained from where MR and MC intersect and the equilibrium price can be found on the demand curve where MR = MC. Property P1 is not satisfied because the amount demand and the amount supplied at the equilibrium price are not equal.

  3. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The supply curve, shown in orange, intersects with the demand curve at price (Pe) = 80 and quantity (Qe)= 120. Pe = 80 is the equilibrium price at which quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. Similarly, Qe = 120 is the equilibrium quantity at which the quantity demanded and supplied are at the equilibrium price.

  4. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The graph depicts an increase (that is, right-shift) in demand from D 1 to D 2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S). A common and specific example is the supply-and-demand graph shown at right. This graph shows supply and demand as opposing curves, and the ...

  5. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...

  6. Demand curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demand_curve

    A demand curve is a graph depicting the inverse demand function, [1] a relationship between the price of a certain commodity (the y-axis) and the quantity of that commodity that is demanded at that price (the x-axis). Demand curves can be used either for the price-quantity relationship for an individual consumer (an individual demand curve), or ...

  7. Edgeworth box - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgeworth_box

    We will use the term 'price line' to denote a common tangent to two indifference curves. An equilibrium therefore corresponds to a budget line which is also a price line, and the price at equilibrium is the gradient of the line. In Fig. 3 ω is the endowment and ω ' is the equilibrium allocation. The reasoning behind this is as follows. Fig. 4.

  8. General equilibrium theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_equilibrium_theory

    Partial equilibrium analysis is adequate when the first-order effects of a shift in the demand curve do not shift the supply curve. Anglo-American economists became more interested in general equilibrium in the late 1920s and 1930s after Piero Sraffa 's demonstration that Marshallian economists cannot account for the forces thought to account ...

  9. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    The price that induces that quantity of output is the height of the demand curve at that quantity (denoted ). A generic derivation of the profit maximisation level of output is given by the following steps. Firstly, suppose a representative firm has perfect information about its profit, given by:
