Question

During World War II candy makers evaded price controls by

a. threatening to fire low-paid workers unless the official price was raised

b. substituting inferior ingredients and selling at the official price

c. refusing to supply the military unless granted price increases in the civilian market

d. selling M&Ms that melted on the fingers and not in the mouth

Answer 1

b. substituting inferior ingredients and selling at the official price

Step-by-step explanation:

Price controls are restrictions placed on the price of a good or service by the government. There are two types of price control :

1. Price floor - this is when the government sets the minimum price for a good or service.

2. Price ceiling - this is when the government sets the maximum price for a good or service.

During the world war 2, producers evaded price control by reducing the quality of candy ; they added fat in the production of candy.
