Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At a price of $1.60, the quantity supplied (90) exceeds the quantity demanded (60), leading to a surplus. Economists would expect the price to decrease to eliminate this surplus. The price where quantity demanded equals quantity supplied is $1.50, indicating market equilibrium.
