Answer to Question 1

The price ceiling will have no effect on the market outcome. An effective price ceiling must lie below the free market equilibrium. Thus, in this case the market outcome will be determined by forces of demand and supply.

Answer to Question 2

Automatic fiscal policy is triggered by the state of the economy with no need for any government action. Discretionary fiscal policy, however, requires an act of Congress to either change government spending and/or change taxes.
