Market Adjustment from Disequilibrium
A competitive market for bread reaches equilibrium with 5,000 loaves sold at a price of €2.00 each. Explain in detail the economic forces that would occur if the market price were instead €1.50. In your explanation, describe the likely behavior of both consumers and producers, identify the resulting market condition by its economic term, and finally, describe the process by which the market would naturally move back toward equilibrium if the price were free to adjust.
