Explanation

(i) Price of goods is determined by the interaction of the forces of demand and supply.

(ii) If the price is at a level where supply is less than demand, then there will be excess demand which may increase the price. For example, at price OP\(_1\), OQ\(_2\) was supplied while OQ\(_3\) was demanded.

(iii) If the price is at a level where supply is greater than demand (above equilibrium), there would be excess supply, leading to a fall in price. For example, at price OP\(_2\), OQ\(_4\) was supplied while OQ\(_1\)  was demanded.

(iv) The equilibrium price is OP\(_0\) where demand is equal to supply. There is no tendency for price to change. The quantity supplied is equal to quantity demanded at OQ\(_0\)
