Explanation:
Shortages are avoided by producers as much as possible in order not to cause disequilibrium in the market. Shortages are not the same as scarcity. They are temporary setbacks when the quantity demanded outstrips the quantity supplied at the equilibrium market price. The backlashes result in lost sales and revenue for suppliers. Shortages may clear ways for competitors to enter the market to meet the unsatisfied demand.
