Solution
In a market with a binding (effective) price ceiling, you would expect to see all of the following:

This is because a binding price ceiling creates a situation where the demand for a product or service exceeds the supply. As a result, sellers have the luxury of choosing who they want to sell to, customers may line up at stores long before they open to ensure they get the product, and buyers may offer prices above the ceiling in an attempt to secure the product or service.
