When the price floor is set above the equilibrium price, it leads to a surplus. This occurs because the higher price incentivizes producers to supply more goods than consumers are willing to buy at that price, resulting in excess supply in the market.
price below the equilibrium level
Surplus on a supply graph is located above the equilibrium price, where the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded. This occurs when the market price is set higher than the equilibrium price, leading to excess supply. The area representing surplus reflects the difference between the quantity supplied and the quantity demanded at that price level.
Surplus occurs when the supply of a good exceeds its demand at a given price, leading to downward pressure on the price until it reaches equilibrium. Conversely, a shortage arises when demand surpasses supply, causing prices to rise as consumers compete for the limited quantity available. The equilibrium price is the point at which supply and demand are balanced, with no surplus or shortage present. Thus, both surplus and shortage drive the market toward the equilibrium price through adjustments in supply and demand.

Once the supply is decreased, consumer surplus will decrease. Producer surplus will decrease as well because neither is at the equillibrium. There will be a surplus leftover after the price increases. Once the supply is decreased, consumer surplus will decrease.

Surplus means there will be excess supply, meaning demand will fall, and so will prices
When there is an increase in demand for a product on a supply and demand graph, consumer surplus typically decreases. This is because as demand rises, prices tend to increase, leading consumers to pay more for the product and reducing the surplus they gain from purchasing it.
On a supply and demand graph, surplus is located above the equilibrium price point. It occurs when the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded at that price, leading to excess goods in the market. This surplus area is typically represented by the region between the supply curve and the demand curve, extending from the equilibrium price upwards.
When the price is above equilibrium, there is a surplus because supply is greater than demand. The price of the good will naturally decrease back to its equilibrium price where demand and suppy interesect, thus eliminating the surplus.
