Imagine you are the owner of a natural gas company. You can either extract as much of the resource as fast as possible or delay extraction until a future time. Projections indicate that the price of natural gas is expected to fall in the future. What would you do in the present?
a. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a rightward shift of the current supply curve in the future. B. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement down the current supply curve.C. Sell as much natural gas as possible now and less in the future—reflected by a movement up the current supply curve.D. Sell as little natural gas as possible in the present and delay extraction until the future—reflected by a leftward shift of the current supply curve in the future.

Several theories explain how this might happen. For example, the misperceptions theory asserts that changes in the price level can temporarily mislead firms about what is happening to their output prices. Consider a soybean farmer who expects a price level of 100 in the coming year. If the actual price level turns out to be 90, soybean prices will(FALL, RISE, OR REMAIN THE SAME) , and if the farmer mistakenly assumes that the price of soybeans declined relative to other prices of goods and services, she will respond by (REDUCING OR INCREASING) the quantity of soybeans supplied.
