Supply and Demand Simulation ECO 365 May 14, 2012 Supply and Demand Simulation With my simulation, I chose to have a vacancy rate of 5 % which maximized revenues at $ 1.81 million. When facing a falling or rising demand, I aimed for equilibrium price as determined by the intersection of both the supply and demand curves. When a price ceiling was implemented, I could only supply a limited number of apartments at the predetermined price. The market forces of demand and supply are the best
