Any price below the equilibrium price will lead to

A.

Increase in supply

B.

Excess demand

C.

Equality of demand and supply

D.

Decreases in demand

Correct answer is B

Any price below the equilibrium price will lead to excess demand with decrease in supply. This is so because, people generally buy more of a commodity when the price is low while suppliers will want to supply more when the price is high. Hence, for a price set below equilibrium, suppliers will cut back on producing more of that commodity while demand will be high.
