Answer 1

When the prevailing price is above the price where supply intersects demand

"price falls because there is a surplus,so producers cut prices to try to attract buyers

(The price where supply intersects demand is called the equilibrium price,where demand = supply,if the prevailing price is above the equilibrium price,it indicates that demand is less than supply,which means that there is a surplus,in such a situation the producers cut their prices,so as to attract buyers to buy their products and increase their sales)
