Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Price controls are non-market price impositions. When price controls hold, the incentives that equilibrium prices provide to buyers and sellers are eliminated. If a price control is imposed above the equilibrium price of a good, the quantity supplied of the good exceeds the quantity demanded of the good. This represents a surplus in the market. If a price control is imposed below the equilibrium price of a good, the quantity demanded of the good exceeds the quantity supplied of the good. This results in a shortage in the market.
