Answer to Question 1

If price is below its equilibrium price, quantity demanded will be greater than quantity supplied; as a consequence the market price will rise due to competition among buyers. If, however, the expected price increase occurs, quantity supplied will rise and quantity demanded will decrease. In either case, the adjustment will continue until both quantity supplied and demanded are equal at the equilibrium point.
