1 If the selling price is greater than the cost price , then a profit is made .
2 When therefore the amount produced ( in a unit of time ) is such that the demand price is greater than the supply price , then sellers receive more than is sufficient to make it worth their while to bring goods to market to that amount ; and there is at work an active force tending to increase the amount brought forward for sale .
3 Such an equilibrium is stable ; that is , the price , if displaced a little from it , will tend to return , as a pendulum oscillates about its lowest point ; and it will be found to be a characteristic of stable equilibria that in them the demand price is greater than the supply price for amounts just less than the equilibrium amount , and vice versa .
4 For when the demand price is greater than the supply price , the amount produced tends to increase .
5 Therefore , if the demand price is greater than the supply price for amounts just less than an equilibrium amount ; then , if the scale of production is temporarily diminished somewhat below that equilibrium amount , it will tend to return ; thus the equilibrium is stable for displacements in that direction .
6 If the demand price is greater than the supply price for amounts just less than the equilibrium amount , it is sure to be less than the supply price for amounts just greater : and therefore , if the scale of production is somewhat increased beyond the equilibrium position , it will tend to return ; and the equilibrium will be stable for displacements in that direction also .
