Hallo, it’s Mr. G your Business and Economics teacher. In this GCSE Economics lesson, we explore the concept of price — how it is determined by the forces of supply and demand, and how it influences the efficient allocation of resources. This lesson explains what price means, why it isn’t always equal to worth, and how it acts as a key signal in the market economy. You’ll learn the three main functions of price — signalling, transmission of preferences, and rationing — and how these help balance the needs of consumers and producers. We also explain equilibrium price and quantity, showing how the market reaches balance through supply and demand. Real UK examples, such as housing and technology markets, help you understand how prices adjust when conditions change. By the end of this lesson, you’ll be able to interpret demand and supply diagrams, explain how prices coordinate market activity, and evaluate how price changes affect consumers, producers, and the wider economy.
