The city council of a major city is concerned about the high interest rates local banks charge

Question:

(a) an ordinance that would limit the interest local banks could legally pay on deposits and

(b) an ordiĀ¬ nance that would limit the rate local banks could charge on car loans. How would each ordinance affect the local market for car loans? Use a graph of the local deposit and loan market to answer this question.
