Predict the effect on price.\n**A:** Increased demand pushes the equilibrium price higher.\n\n---\n\n**Card 3**\n**Q:** The government sets a maximum rent below the market equilibrium price. Explain the likely outcome in the housing market.\n**A:** A shortage occurs because quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied.\n\n---\n\n**Card 4**\n**Q:** New technology cuts smartphone production costs, and simultaneously consumer incomes fall. Why is the price effect uncertain?\n**A:** Supply increases (lowering price) while demand decreases (also lowering price), but quantity change is ambiguous—actually price falls; quantity is uncertain.\n\n---\n\n*Note: Card 4's answer, condensed to one line:* **Both shifts lower price, but the change in quantity sold is uncertain.**",
