Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.9 Supply, Demand, and Market Equilibrium skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the graph for the market for custom T-shirts. At the posted price, the graph shows a surplus. Which market-clearing path is most consistent with the graph?

ASellers shift supply left automatically, so price stays fixed and equilibrium quantity rises.

BSellers raise price; quantity demanded falls and quantity supplied rises until the surplus grows.

CBuyers lower demand at every price until the price reaches the supply curve.

DSellers lower price; quantity demanded rises and quantity supplied falls until the market reaches equilibrium.

Solution & Explanation:A surplus means price is above equilibrium. Lowering price moves the market along the existing curves: buyers demand more and sellers supply less until quantities match.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Demand and supply both decrease in the market for DVD players. The final graph shows equilibrium price rising and quantity falling. What must be true about the relative shifts?

AThe supply decrease had a larger effect on price than the demand decrease.

BDemand and supply increased by equal amounts.

CThe demand decrease had a larger effect on price than the supply decrease.

DSupply increased while demand decreased.

Solution & Explanation:Both decreases reduce quantity. A higher price means the leftward supply shift's upward pressure on price was stronger than demand's downward pressure.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Demand and supply both increase in the market for wireless headphones. The final graph shows equilibrium price falling and quantity rising. What must be true about the relative shifts?

AThe supply increase had a larger effect on price than the demand increase.

BDemand and supply decreased by equal amounts.

CThe demand increase had a larger effect on price than the supply increase.

DSupply decreased while demand increased.

Solution & Explanation:Both increases raise quantity. A lower price means the rightward supply shift's downward pressure on price was stronger than demand's upward pressure.
