Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Equilibrium is the point where demand for a product equals the quantity supplied. This means that there’s no surplus and no shortage of goods. A shortage occurs when demand exceeds supply – in other words, when the price is too low.

Detailed explanation-2: -The point at which the two curves intersect represents the market-clearing price-the price at which demand and supply are the same. Prices can change for many reasons (technology, consumer preference, weather conditions).

Detailed explanation-3: -The point of equilibrium represents a theoretical state of rest where all economic transactions that “should” occur, given the initial state of all relevant economic variables, have taken place.
