What happens is there is too much of a good and not enough demand. This is called over supply and usually occurs when the current price level for the good is too high. To sell off the remaining goods, the solutions is to lower the price level and increase demand.
the price goes down
if, at a current price there is a shortage of a good
A surplus of goods occur
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.
Surplus means there will be excess supply, meaning demand will fall, and so will prices

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.
To calculate the producer surplus in a market, subtract the minimum price that producers are willing to accept for a product from the actual price they receive for it. This difference represents the producer surplus, which is the benefit producers gain from selling their goods at a higher price than they were willing to accept.
To determine producer surplus from a table, subtract the cost of production from the price at which the product is sold. The difference represents the producer surplus, which is the benefit that producers receive from selling their goods at a price higher than their production costs.
Government sets the minimum selling price and prices of goods are not supposed to fall below this price. This Causes Surplus and purchasers Overpay.
it always increases
Supply curves do not always slope from left to right. A supply curve can slope from the right and when this happens this means that there is a surplus of goods at a lower price.
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.
