Answer: c.

In a competitive market, there are many producers competing to provide consumers the products they needed and thus they cannot dictate prices.

If a surplus occurs, there is an excess of quantity supplied and since producers won't be able to sell all their products, they tend or are forced to lower their price.

The reverse happens when there is a shortage. When there is less supply in the market, price increases.

Surplus and shortage in a competitive market, therefore, will cause shifts in the demand and supply curves that tend to eliminate the surplus or shortage.

If the world price for good A is above the domestic price for good A without trade, then producer surplus will ________ and tota

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": increase; decrease.

Explanation:

Producer surplus is the difference between the price at which the manufacturer actually sells a product and the minimum price the manufacturer would have accepted. The surplus results from the producer being able to sell their goods at a market price higher than their minimum price.

So, if producer A manufactures a product that is being sold at a higher price level abroad, its producer surplus will increase. However, the overall economic surplus with trade will decrease since the introduction to producer A to the market will allow consumers to purchase the goods at a lower price.
