The figure shоws а grаph оf 2 lines lаbeled “Supply” and “Demand” in the cоordinate plane with the origin labeled 0. The horizontal axis is labeled “Quantity,” and the numbers 4, 6, and 8 are evenly spaced along the middle of the axis. The vertical axis is labeled “Price, in dollars,” and the numbers 4, 6, and 8 are evenly spaced along the middle of the axis, and the number 12 is indicated at the top of the axis. The supply line begins at coordinates 0 comma 0 and moves upward and to the right. It passes through the coordinates 4 comma 4, 6 comma 6, and 8 comma 8 and continues a short distance upward and to the right and ends. The demand line begins at coordinates 0 comma 12 and moves downward and to the right. It passes through the coordinates 4 comma 8, 6 comma 6, and 8 comma 4 and downward and to the right and ends slightly above the horizontal axis to the right of 8. The two lines intersect at coordinates 6 comma 6. Apples are produced in a perfectly competitive market with no government intervention.
