As long as the actual market price exceeds the equilibrium market price, there will be:

a. Downward pressure on the market price

b. Upward pressure on the market price

c. No purchases made

d. Both A and C are correct

e. Both B and C are correct

The answer is a. Downward pressure on the market price

Explanation:

As the market price is set above the equilibrium price, this is a lower demand level comparatively to a higher supply level (draw it and you'll see it!)

So this level. of price is not a sustainable level both for the demanders and the suppliers. Because of that, naturally there is a downward pressure on price to go down.
