Detailed explanation-3: -The equilibrium price is the only price where the plans of consumers and the plans of producers agree-that is, where the amount consumers want to buy of the product, quantity demanded, is equal to the amount producers want to sell, quantity supplied. This common quantity is called the equilibrium quantity.
