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.
