Section 4 Equilibrium Price In free markets, prices are determined by the interaction of supply and demand.

Section 4 Equilibrium Price (cont.) Demand and supply operate together. As the price of a good goes down, the quantity demanded rises and the quantity supplied falls (and vice versa).

Section 4 Prices as Signals Under a free-enterprise system, prices function as signals that communicate information and coordinate the activities of producers and consumers.

Section 4 Prices as Signals (cont.) Rising prices signal producers to produce more and consumers to purchase less. Falling prices signal producers to produce less and consumers to purchase more. A shortage occurs when at the current price, the quantity demanded is greater than the quantity supplied.shortage Prices above the equilibrium price reflect a surplus to suppliers. surplus

Section 4 Prices as Signals (cont.) When a market economy operates without restriction, it eliminates shortages and surpluses. –When a shortage occurs, the price goes up to eliminate the shortage. –When surpluses occur, the price falls to eliminate the surplus.

Section 4 Price Controls (cont.) The government sometimes gets involved in setting prices if it believes such measures are needed to protect consumers and suppliers.

Section 4 Price Controls (cont.) –Effective price ceilings, and resulting shortages, often lead to non-market ways of distributing goods and services such as rationing and leading to the black market.rationing black market A price ceiling is a government-set maximum price that may be charged for a particular good or service.price ceiling View: Price Ceilings and Price FloorsPrice Ceilings and Price Floors
