The following figure shows that a competitive market creates an efficient allocation of resources at equilibrium.

  • In equilibrium, the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.
  • At the equilibrium quantity, marginal benefit equals marginal cost, so the quantity is the efficient quantity.
  • The sum of consumer and producer surplus is maximized at this efficient level of output. It is here that all potential gains from production and exchange are realized.
