        Which of the following statements relating to obstacles to efficient allocation of resources is/are most likely incorrect?

        I:   Price ceilings set below the equilibrium price lead to shortages, bribery, poor quality and black marketeering.

        II:  Subsidies decrease equilibrium quantities and lead to dead weight losses from overproduction.

        III: Production quotas decrease equilibrium quantities and lead to dead weight losses from underproduction.

        • Both statements I and II
        • Both statements I and III
        • Only statement II

            Correct Answer:  C

            Subsidies result in ‘increase’ in equilibrium quantities and lead to dead-weight losses from overproduction. Statement II is incorrect. The remaining two statements are correct.

                I had that same problem taking exams @jmsatchwell‌ !  If I had time at the end of the exam I would always double check to make my answers matched what I meant to put.  Most people probably don’t need to do that, but for me it was well worth the time!
