Keeping the price of rice below the market equilibrium is to enable those whom previously was unable to afford now able to consume the good. If left to market forces, price of rice will be high as rice is considered a necessity in certain part of the world and faces an inelastic demand. Hence, the producer can jack up the price without worrying about the less than proportionate fall in quantity demanded. However, this creates a negative impact on the consumers as the poor now are unable to afford the good.

Some economic consequences is that there will be a shortage of good as price is low, demand outweigh the supply and hence, it could lead to black market forming and sorts.

Hope this help! :)

What is the worst thing that could happen if a control system failed?

If a control system fails, it can lead to catastrophic consequences, such as equipment damage, safety hazards, or loss of life, especially in critical industries like aerospace, nuclear, or healthcare. For example, a failure in an aircraft's control system could result in loss of control, leading to a crash. Additionally, the economic impact can be severe, causing financial losses, regulatory penalties, and damage to reputation. Ultimately, the severity of the consequences depends on the specific application and the safeguards in place.
