Answer:
D) cause the quantity demanded to exceed the quantity supplied of rental housing.
Explanation:
A price ceiling is a binding government regulation in which it puts a cap on the price landlords can charge tenants to rent their properties. If this happens, there could be a rapid significant increase in the demand of apartments. This would lead to excess demand that the existing supply cannot meet , creating a shortage. The property owners may also choose to not rent their apartment at that lower price driving the supply even lower.
Answer: Option (C) is correct.
Explanation:
A country has a comparative advantage in producing a commodity if the opportunity cost of producing that good is lesser in that country as compared to the other country.
From the information given in the question, it is clear that Alphaland has a comparative advantage in axes and Betaville has a comparative advantage in batons.
Hence, Alphaland will trade axes for batons only if the price of batons is lower than the cost of producing it in Alphaland. So that there is a possibility mutually beneficial trade.
