Answer to Question 1

D A price ceiling set below the equilibrium price creates ineffi-ciency and is unfair by both measures of fairness.

Answer to Question 2

From this information it is impossible to determine who is better off. Mary Ellen's income is higher than Molly's, but Molly may be willing to sacrifice income so that she doesn't have to deal with the problems associated with living in a large city. Income is an imperfect measure of well-being.
