Demand‚ Supply and Market Equilibrium Every market has a demand side and a supply side and where these two forces are in balance it is said that the markets are at equilibrium. The Demand Schedule: The Demand side can be represented by law of downward sloping demand curve.

Changes in price result in movement along the supply curve‚ changes in other relevant factors cause a shift in supply‚ a shift of the supply curve to the left or right such a shift results in a change in quantity supplied for a given price level. If the change causes an increase in the quantity supplied at each price level. If the change causes an increase in the quantity
