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.
The graph shows the demand and supply curves for sandwiches.
If the sandwich market is efficient, what is the consumer surplus, what is the producer surplus, and what is the
total surplus?
If the market is efficient, the consumer surplus is $, the producer surplus is $, and total surplus is $
If the demand for sandwiches increases and the sandwich makers produce the efficient quantity, the
consumer surplus,
and the producer surplus
