C  excess production

D  Excess demand

A  excess equilibrium

B  excess supply

D  Disequilibrium to due to an endogenous shock in the marketplace

A  Equilibrium quantity declined because the decrease in demand and supply both led to a decrease in quantity.  The equilibrium price declined.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to decrease price.

B  The change in equilibrium quantity is ambiguous.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease quantity, while a decrease in supply tends to increase quantity. The equilibrium price declined.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to decrease price.

C  Equilibrium quantity declined because the decrease in demand and supply both led to a decrease in quantity.  The change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to increase price.

D  Equilibrium quantity increased because the decrease in demand and supply both led to an increase in quantity.  The change in equilibrium price is ambiguous.  This is due to the fact that we are not given information about the relative size of the shifts.  A decrease in demand tends to decrease price, but the decrease in supply tends to increase price.

A  The equilibrium price increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

B  The equilibrium quantity decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

C  The equilibrium quantity increased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium price because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.

D  The equilibrium price decreased, but we can’t tell what happened to the equilibrium quantity because we aren’t given any information about the relative size of the shifts in supply and demand in the market.
