Supply and Demand Factors Understanding supply and demand is the underlying foundation of all economics. The term demand is used to indicate consumers’ willingness to buy while supply indicates willingness to sell.

The same applies for supply for quantity supplied, at a given price with all else constant...

The law of supply and demand describes how prices will vary based on the balance between the supply of a product and the demand for that product (Wikipedia, 2005). If there is a balance between the supply, (the availability of the product), and the demand, (how much product the consumers want), then the price for the product would be considered good. If there is an imbalance, the price will change. According to Adam Smith, the invisible hand is a self-adjusting force in the market that...
