  4. HOW IS THE PRICE OF THE IPAD DETERMINED? • The price of the iPad is determined by demand and supply forces. • The decision of the producers determines the supply of the iPad while the decisions of buyers determine the demand. • It is the interaction of demand and supply that determines the market prices of goods and services.

  5. HOW IS THE PRICE OF THE IPAD DETERMINED? Market equilibrium occurs at a price where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied.
