1 inflammatory diseases (such as Perthes' disease), and all chronic forms of arthritis (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and gout). 2  In gout, uric acid crystals cause the cartilage to degenerate at a faster pace.
Equilibrium Price. When a product exchange occurs, the agreed upon price is called an equilibrium price, or a market clearing price. Graphically, this price occurs at the intersection of demand and supply as presented in Figure 1.ith no immediate change in consumers' willingness to buy crops, there is a movement along the demand curve to a new equilibrium. Consumers will buy more but only at a lower price. How much the price must fall to induce consumers to purchase the greater supply depends upon the elasticity of demand.
Relative prices are the basic measures of the relative scarcity of products when prices are set by market forces (supply and demand). The market clearing or equilibrium price for a good or service is the one price at which quantity supplied equals quantity demanded. If a price is above the market clearing price, it will fall, causing sellers to produce less and buyers to purchase more; if it is below the market clearing price, it will rise, causing sellers to produce more and buyers to buy less.
