What does research suggest regarding dark triad traits and leadership? A. Leaders with dark triad traits are more likely to utilize “hard tactics” such as manipulation of others or threatening punishment
B. Leaders with dark triad traits report greater career success for their subordinates than the average leaders
C. Leaders with dark triad traits tend to take longer to make decisions
D. Leaders with dark triad traits tend to be more honest and ethical than the average leader

The correct answer is B.

A price floor is a policy established by economic authorities that consists on setting a threshold so that the price of a certain product or service cannot decrease under that. It distorts the market outcome when it is larger than the equilibrium price, because the amount supplied at the price floor level would the larger than the amount demanded by consumers and, hence, there is an excess of supply or surplus. Therefore, the market does not clear because the rationing function of prices has been externally influenced.

A price ceiling is a similar policy established by economic authorities. A threshold is set so that the price of a certain product or service cannot increase over it. It distorts the market outcome when it is smaller than the equilibrium price, because the amount supplied at the price ceiling level would the smaller than the amount demanded by consumers and, hence, there is an excess of demand of shortage. Again, the market does not clear because the rationing function of prices has been externally distorted.

A market clears when the equilibrium is reached and the amount supplied equals the amount demanded, so that the desires of both producers and consumers meet.
