Indicate whether the situation below will lead to a surplus, shortage, or neither.
Masteriza [31]

If the price of a product falls to what is considered a bargain price, a shortage would occur.

A shortage occurs when the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied. A shortage occurs when price is below the equilibrium price.

A surplus is when the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded. A surplus occurs when price is above the equilibrium price.

When the price of a good falls to what is considered a bargain price by consumers, it means that the price of the good is below the equilibrium price.

When the price of a good is below equilibrium, quantity supplied would fall and the quantity demanded would exceed supply. As a result, there would be a shortage.

Cost of buying= 300,000*18= $5,400,000
