Best Answer

When supply exceeds demand, it is known as a surplus.Surpluses only occur among rational producers and consumers if a regulatory price floor is in effect (that is, the government mandates that the price of the good or service in question not go below a certain level). If no such regulation is in place, the price of the good or service will lower to the point where supply and demand are equal to one another.
If the price of the good is lowered, then demand will increase.

If there is more demand than supply, the price tends to increase.
