Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

Equilibrium exists at that one price in a market where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied. This is shown graphically at the point of intersection between demand and supply curves. At any price above equilibrium, a surplus is observed, which pushes the price down until equilibrium is established. Any price below equilibrium creates a shortage and the price rises until the shortage is eliminated.
