Answer to Question 1

When the price is above equilibrium, a surplus occurs. Some producers who are unable to sell the product will have an incentive to offer to sell the product at a lower price. A lower price will simultaneously decrease the quantity supplied and increase the quantity demanded. This downward pressure on price continues until the surplus is eliminated and equilibrium is achieved.
