The Relationship between Production and Consumption


As mentioned, production is the supply while consumption is the demand. Both are variable by changes made from each other. The demand increases inversely with the price, when the price increases, the demands decreases while the supply increase along with the price due to the amount of profit the producer makes per unit.


  Combined together in a same graph, they intersect with each other at a point called an equilibrium which is a balance between over-supplying and shortage. With over-supplying, the price must be decreased to restore equilibrium while with shortage, the price is increased.


Below is a video from YouTube which evaluates further on the demand and supply curve.
