Answer:
The correct answer is letter "D": shortages.
Explanation:
Price ceilings are price limits imposed by the government to avoid producers increasing the price of goods that can be considered as basic or necessary. Then, the price ceiling will increase the demand for those goods but not the supply. Under this scenario, there will be a shortage of that product because of the excess in demand over supply.
Option c. A current liability is a correct answer. The amount of federal income taxes withheld from an employee's gross pay is recorded as a current liability
Under employment law, employers operate as intermediaries between employees and state and federal agencies. It is the obligation of employers to track and pay taxes, social security, and other payments from employee pay to government agencies.
The company must remit the amount withheld each quarter which means the amounts are owed in the current period. When taxes are paid, the FIT Payable account is debited to balance the transactions.
Option a) is incorrect as no asset is created by the withholding.
Option b) is incorrect as the taxes are not an expense paid by the company.
Option d) is incorrect as the payable operates as a normal liability account.

Answer:
The government has two major roles;
a. The role of a rule maker.
b. The role of an umpire.
Explanation:
a.
A free enterprise system is an economic model where the prices and quantities produced are determined by the market rather than the government. The government usually has limited or no control on the market forces. In other words, a free enterprise system is an ideology where the market is majorly controlled by private businesses. The foundation for free markets are; voluntary trade, private ownership of property and competition in bidding. However, a government controlled economy usually has the following properties, namely; all property is publicly owned, trade is coerced and there is limited competitive bidding. Even though the government has a limited role in a free enterprise system it still has a role in allowing individuals to operate freely in the market. The roles of the government are; rule maker and umpire.
b.
In a free enterprise system, individuals are allowed to do their transactions without any restrictions. Even though individuals are free to operate, there needs to be rules to make sure that the transactions are in deed free. This is where the government comes in to enforce the laws that govern the smooth running of a free enterprise system. The government's role as an umpire means that the government has the authority to solve disputes resulting from different interruptions of the law.

Answer:
D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.
Explanation:
Firms competing in perfectly competitive markets are price takers, meaning that they cannot set the price of their products or services, but monopolists can actually set the price of their products or services because their market power is high enough to do so. Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.
This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.
