i have a question... O/N 2009 paper 1 question 22...
i chose C but apparently its wrong. Can you please explain why the answer is A??
For the maximum price to be effective, it must be set below the equilibrium price levels.
A The maximum prices increased demand whilst reducing supply.
Demand curve shifts to the right whilst the supply curve shifts to the left, the equilibrium price would increase.
B The maximum prices reduced demand whilst increasing supply.
Demand curve shifts to the left whilst the supply curve shifts to the right, the equilibrium price would decrease.
C The maximum prices were set above the equilibrium price levels.
Product will be traded at the equilibrium price level.
D The maximum prices were set at the equilibrium price levels.
No infulence on the equilibrium price levels.
