Under what conditions is a market at equilibrium
RideAnS [48]

A supply of a certain product meets the demand of that product i.e., if the "supply" and "demand" of the product is equal, then the market is at "equilibrium". The price corresponding to it is then called a market-clearing price or equilibrium price whereas the quantity is known as the equilibrium quantity. But this comes with two conditions of surplus and shortage when there is a change in the supply and demand curve. So, a market to be at equilibrium having an equilibrium price, it is always important that the supply meets the demand.
