#1: Draw a graph with hypothetical demand and supply curves. Label the axes, each curve, the equilibrium, the equilibrium price, P*, and the equilibrium quantity, Q*. #2: If the market price is below P*, what will happen to inventories and what will buyers do to cause the price to rise? #3: If the market price is above P*, what will happen to inventories and how will sellers react? #4: Equilibrium means the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. What else does equilibrium mean? How do I do this? Thanks so much!! :)

That's all it gives?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it's a set of problems... should i post them all here to see if it helps? :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, lemme edit the question and type it up :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay i added them all in the original post :D @jim_thompson5910 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure if that helps? :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

kinda sorta

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

but it seems like something is missing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

aww :( that's all it says... that and the title is equilibrium: market equilibrium does that help? :/

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I guess you can make up pretty much anything you want

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

as long as it fits the right form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so :/ do you know how to do that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well what does a basic demand curve look like?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

|dw:1414891952385:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

draw it on there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

umm like this? the "curve" is just a line right? |dw:1414892137837:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that is one possibility out of infinitely many

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

we could have something like this |dw:1414892163196:dw|

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or maybe this |dw:1414892176082:dw| as long as it slopes downward all throughout, then we have a demand curve of some kind
