C) At each price there is a shortage; firms will raise the equilibrium price in order to eliminate the shortage.

D) At each price the demand for coffee grinders exceeds the supply of coffee grinders.

 

 

22) If the quantity demanded for a product exceeds the quantity supplied, the market price will rise until

A) the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied.  The product will then no longer be scarce.

B) quantity demanded equals quantity supplied.  The equilibrium price will then be greater than the market price.

D) If the demand for Lincoln letters is greater than the demand for Booth letters, the market equilibrium price for Lincoln letters will always be greater than the market equilibrium price for Booth letters.

 

 

26) Competitive market equilibrium is a market equilibrium with many buyers and sellers.

 

27) In response to a shortage the market price of a good will rise; as the price rises, the demand will decrease and supply will increase until equilibrium is reached.

 

 

28) A surplus is defined as the situation that exists when the quantity of a good supplied is greater than the quantity demanded.
