Answer:
The correct answer is: black market for apartments whereby higher rents are obtained through various other charges.
Explanation:
A price ceiling refers to an upper limit fixed for the price of a product or service. A rent ceiling means that rent cannot be charged higher than this limit.
This rent ceiling would create higher demand and a smaller supply of apartments. This is because of law of demand and law of supply.
Because of shortage of apartments in the market, a black market will be created where the apartment owners will be able to charge higher rents through other charges.
Answer:
B) government spending and taxes that automatically increase or decrease along with the business cycle.
Explanation:
The two most common automatic stabilizers are: income taxes and unemployment benefits.

On the contrary, when the economy is weak, or in recession, people earn less, and more of them are unemployed. Unemployment benefits therefore increase accordingly.
Answer and Explanation:
A. Toothpaste brand: Toothpaste is a commonly used, inexpensive, and very popular product. These decisions are governed mainly by the reference group such as family , friends or primary group with whom a student has regular face to face experiences. Hence the purchase decision is affected by a low degree of comparison community.
B. Buying a hybrid car: A hybrid car is sometimes described as expensive and luxury products. It's moreover a non-necessity commodity for a college student. These decisions are therefore usually affected by secondary community. And a high degree of control in the comparison community will only inspire a student to buy a car.
C. Buying cereal for breakfast: This is a simple requirement of a lifetime. Therefore, even without consulting any reference group a student can buy such product. Often such transactions are rules by family group control. So it needs a low degree of control.
D. Becoming a vegetarian: It takes a high degree of influence and motivation to become a vegetarian.
Thus the aspirational group influences a student. So they opt for vegetarianism to become part of such a community. Such decision taking involves a high degree of control.
E. Option of a computer tablet like the iPod: these products are a luxury commodity sold at regular prices. Typically refer to their families , friends, magazines before making a purchase student to get an idea about the output and price of these products. These goods are the weak product with a strong brand and a strong purchase is controlled by a strong reference community impact.
