Demand-Supply Imbalance in Ice Cream Market Steps:

• Hot weather typically shifts the demand curve for ice cream to the right, increasing quantity demanded at every price.
• The price P is likely the original equilibrium price before the hot weather.
• At this fixed price P, the new quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied.
• This creates an excess demand situation in the market.

Not enough information to confirm surplus; standard economics predicts a shortage, but context (e.g., graph or supply shift) is missing.

Final answer: Not enough information.
