Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a market not controlled by the government, if the price is above the equilibrium, it will lead to an excess supply. This situation naturally corrects itself as suppliers reduce prices to sell their excess inventory, leading to a decrease in price, an increase in quantity demanded, and a decrease in quantity supplied until equilibrium is reached. However, without seeing Figure 3.17, the correct interpretation based on standard economic principles is that an above-equilibrium price leads to adjustments opposite to those described in option A. Therefore, my initial guidance was incorrect as it was based on a misunderstanding of the question's premise without the visual aid of Figure 3.17. The correct economic principle for a price above equilibrium would indeed involve a decrease in price to reach equilibrium, contradicting the scenario outlined in option A.
