A price ceiling fixed below the market-clearing price will normally create:<\/p>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">Excess supply or surplus.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">A new equilibrium with no rationing.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">A guaranteed rise in producer surplus.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">No effect on quantity demanded.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"true\">Excess demand or shortage.<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\">\n  <p>6.

A positive cross-price elasticity of demand between tea and coffee most strongly suggests that they are:<\/p>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">Complements.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">Inferior goods.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">Public goods.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"false\">Giffen goods.<\/button>\n  <button data-correct=\"true\">Substitutes.<\/button>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"question\" data-answered=\"false\">\n  <p>11.
