The correct answer is 2.

<u>When markets are allowed to freely fluctuate, prices tend to the equilibrium</u>, the quantities supplied and demanded are equal and the market is cleared.

If the supply of a certain good drops due to a natural disaster, for example, there is an excess of demand and therefore there is a subsequent price increase, so that many consumers refuse to demand such product at a more expensive price, and the price rise continues until demand and supply are equaled again forming a new equilbrium.

<u>When price controls are established, natural market movements are distorted. </u>There are two situations:

  • A price floor is the minimum price allowed for a good, which is established by an economic authority and which distorts the market when it is located above the equilibrium price, creating a situation of excess supply. The most famous price floor is the minimum wage in the labor market.
  • A price ceiling is the maximum price allowed for a good, which distorts the market when it is smaller than the equilibrum because it creates a situation of excess demand.
