Expert Solution
Step 1

Demand is the quantity of a product or service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given price over a specified period of time. The demand for a product or service increases as the price of the product decreases, and vice versa.

Supply, on the other hand, is the quantity of a product or service that producers are willing and able to sell at a given price over a specified period of time. The supply of a product or service increases as the price of the product increases and vice versa.
