Introduction
In today’s economic culture, there is currently a huge significance in being able to analyze or understand the state of the economy to which we live in.

This situation would have been described as market equilibrium process according to economist or hitting a jackpot to the average working Joe. Hopefully, after reading this paper, there will be a better understanding on how the market equilibration process is applied to one’s everyday life.
