Chuckles · Answer 1

The correct answer is b. increases in the supply of computer memory have exceeded increases in demand.

Explanation:

The equilibrium price is that from which all bidders put their goods and services on the market and at which all the plaintiffs are willing to acquire them.

More simply, the equilibrium price is that in which the bidders (sellers) and the plaintiffs (buyers) agree.

The microeconomics poses a scenario where there are numerous suppliers whose offer of goods and services will be given by the price at which they believe it is profitable or sufficient to be present in the market, while there is also a certain number of plaintiffs that will increase or reduce their purchases depending on the price at which they are offered.
