Maximum Price (Price Ceiling) & Market Shortage

Quantity (Q) Price (P) Pe (50) 50 (Qe) D S
Unitary (1.0)
Unitary (1.0)
$50 (At Equilibrium)
Market Shortage 0 units Qd - Qs
Quantity Demanded 50 units At Pmax
Quantity Supplied 50 units At Pmax

Calculation Steps

Quantity Demanded (Qd) Qd = 50 + 1.0 × (50 - 50) = 50
Quantity Supplied (Qs) Qs = 50 - 1.0 × (50 - 50) = 50
Shortage = Qd - Qs 50 - 50 = 0 units
