Analyzing Market Equilibrium Stability
Consider a market for a specific commodity where the price in the next period () is determined by the price in the current period () according to the equation: . The market is currently at its equilibrium price of $200. A small, temporary demand surge causes the price to briefly increase to $205. Based on the provided price dynamics equation, explain what will happen to the price in the periods following this disruption and identify whether the equilibrium at $200 is stable or unstable. Justify your answer.

Consider a market where the price in the next period is a function of the price in the current period. This relationship is shown by a Price Dynamics Curve (PDC) plotted against a 45-degree line, where the price is constant. The PDC intersects the 45-degree line at two points: Point A (a lower price) and Point B (a higher price). At Point A, the PDC is steeper than the 45-degree line. At Point B, the PDC is flatter than the 45-degree line. Which of the following statements correctly analyzes these two equilibrium points?
