6. Write a ten lines text that summarizes the topic of the activity.
The supply and demand model is used to analyze markets competitive where there are
many buyers and many sellers in where none of them has influence on the price.
The law of supply and demand reflects the relationship between the demand that exists for
a good in the market and the quantity thereof that is offered based on the price that is
established.
It must be considered that the market is of free competition, there are negotiations between
the bidders and the plaintiffs and free merchandise traffic is allowed.
The theory says that speaking within a market of perfect competition, the price of a good will
be placed at a "point of equilibrium" where demand equals supply.
That point of equilibrium is the price at which consumers are willing to buy the good.
