With this new demand curve, equilibrium price rises to $7 and quantity also rises to five CDs per week. This new equilibrium is confirmed by the entries in Table 10-2, which show that this is the only price that clears the market given the new demand curve. For example, at the old price of $6, there is now an excess demand for CDs because the amount people want (Q = 6) exceeds what firms are willing to supply (Q = 4). The rise in price from $6 to $7 restores equilibrium both by prompting people to buy fewer CDs and by encouraging firms to produce more.
