Answer to Question 1

Markets tend toward equilibrium because when a shortage exists, consumers who are unhappy about not being able to purchase the products or services they want will tend to bid the prices higher, moving the market toward equilibrium. If a surplus exists, suppliers are unhappy about not being able to sell the quantity of goods or services they wish, and will tend to lower prices in order to persuade consumers to purchase more goods and services.

Answer to Question 2

True
