Christmas Timber, Inc., produces Christmas trees. The trees are produced through a cutting and pruning process. Machine maintenance and janitorial labors are performed throughout the production process by nonproduction employees. Maintenance and janitorial costs are allocated based on machine hours used and the number of trees in each department, respectively. The company estimates that the cutting and pruning areas typically have about 16 and 64 trees, respectively, in them at 1 time. The company also estimates that the cutting process requires about 9 times as many machine hours as the pruning process. The total costs of each department are as follows: Maintenance Department $7,000
Janitorial Department 4,000
Cutting Department 58,000
Pruning Department 13,000

explanation:

the answer is "b.the increased supply will create a surplus. "

the essential thought behind price controls is straightforward - utilize the power of law to modify the equilibrium of a market. for instance, the legislature may choose that the steel business needs to survive, and in this way pass a law to set a value floor on steel. this implies all steel sold must offer at or over the floor value, which must be set over the equilibrium cost for it to have any impact. the switch could likewise happen - the administration can choose that steel is excessively costly and set a value roof underneath its equilibrium value, with the goal that all steel must be sold at or beneath that ceiling.
