At the same time, the number of students enrolled has increased from 22,000 to over 35,000. No, this fact does not refute the Law of Demand.

The total demand for wheat and the total supply of wheat per month in the Kansas City grain market are as follows:
a. Market equilibrium occurs at the point where market clears, that is, where quantity supplied is equal to quantity demanded. In other words, equilibrium price is the price at which there exists neither surplus nor shortage. Looking at the entries in the last column (in bold), we can see the equilibrium price is $4. Therefore, the equilibrium quantity is 75,000 bushels. b. For your individual work. c. At $3.40, there would be a 13,000 bushels
shortage of wheat. The price will not stay at that level since it will be in the sellers' best interest to raise their prices. d. The statement is false. A surplus means that at a given price, quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded. Trying to get rid of the surplus, sellers will decrease their prices. Therefore, surpluses drive prices down, not up. Shortages, on the other hand, give sellers the opportunity to raise prices, hence "shortages drive prices up". e. A ceiling at $3.70 established by the government (which probably tries to prevent the price from being what it perceives as "too high") would not allow the price to move towards the equilibrium. As a result, a permanent shortage of wheat will emerge. Buyers will demand 7000 more bushels of wheat than
there is available.
