Answer: a) less

b). more

c). Shortage

d). Decrease

e). Increase

f). more

g). larger shortage

Explanation:

At a binding price ceiling demand for the good is greater than its supply. This leads to a shortage of the good. The consumers do not get all they want at the on going price. This makes sellers reduce the size and quality of the load of bread. The shortage also increases the opportunity cost of buying bread. In the long-run demand and supply of bread will become more elastic leading to a larger shortage of bread.
