1. consumer sovereignty = Super Soba noodles was doing fine until the arrival of a new brand of noodles, Magic Soba. People stopped buying Super Soba, opting for Magic Soba instead. Gradually, Super Soba had to reduce production as demand decreased.
As you can see here, the consumer has all the power - since the consumers started buying Magic Soba more than Super Soba, the other company had to change its policy.
2. property rights = Michael owns a two-story house with a large lawn. He decides to use his house and lawn to run a fitness boot camp.
This house is Michael's property, and he has the right to do whatever he wants with it.
3. interest = Jamie borrowed $10,000 from the bank. Eventually, the loan payments will total $11,156.
When you borrow money from a bank, your interest will grow depending on how long it will take you to return that money.

Answer:

C) A decrease in equilibrium price and increase in the equilibrium quantity of oil.

Explanation:

Equilibrium price is the price in which the quantity of goods demanded matches the quantity of goods offered, same for the equilibrium quantity. When these two variables cross, we reach economic equilibrium.

If the U.S. drills more oil, the supply oil will increase, lowering the price until the demand for oil is met.

This is what is currently happening in the world: because the U.S. has increased oil production, the price of oil in the U.S. and the rest of the world has lowered. In other words, the equilibrium price of oil has decreased and the equilibrium quantity has increased.
