Question:
True or False: The equilibrium price is represented by the point where a product's supply and demand curves intersect.
Demand and Supply:
In the market, buyers and sellers meet to undertake a transaction or a deal known as trade. For trading to take place, various participants must be available. For instance, there has to be a consumer who is willing and able to buy goods and services at a particular period. The second participant is the supplier who is willing and able to take the products to the market.
