, Unsure
Feedback
The statement is true. At any price above the equilibrium price, there is an excess supply of running shoes,
leading to a surplus. Market forces then drive the price downward to eliminate the surplus and restore
equilibrium.
Adjustment process:
To eliminate the surplus, market forces drive the price downward:
Producers lower prices: To sell the excess stock of running shoes, producers
reduce prices.
Quantity demanded increases: As prices fall, more consumers are willing
and able to buy running shoes, increasing the quantity demanded.
Quantity supplied decreases: As prices fall, producers are less willing to
supply as many running shoes, decreasing the quantity supplied.
These adjustments continue until the price returns to the equilibrium level, where the quantity supplied equals
the quantity demanded, and the surplus is eliminated.
