- 2. 3-5: Attaining Market Equilibrium *3* The Wall Street Journal of March 20, 2020, reported on the "large surplus of oil" as there is not enough storage capacity to hold the refined oil. Assuming the price of oil is set by competitive market forces, which of the following sequence of events accurately describes how the surplus of oil would be eliminated? As price decreases, the: Quantity demanded decreases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand decreases, supply increases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Demand increases, supply decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached. O Quantity demanded increases, quantity supplied decreases, and a new equilibrium will be reached.arrow_forwardSuppose that the government imposes a per-unit tax on cell phones.

(use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal to its equilibrium level (P=$8)? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of P =$8 (equilibrium)? Now, according to this graph, how much is the consumer surplus when price is set below the equilibrium level at P=$5? (Use the area of a triangle and the area of a rectangle, length x length) According to this graph, how much is the producer surplus when price is equal at P= $5? (use the area of triangle: Base x Height x ½) In the graph, how much is deadweight loss at a price of $5?
