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.

Answer to Question 2

D
