Answer 1

Answer:

Joe lives in a mixed economy.

The building is a private property

Explanation:

A mixed economy allows individuals like Joe and companies to engage in commercial activities. It gives freedom to entrepreneurs to choose the type of business they wish to operate. Joe rents out apartments to clients. He and the client enters into a tenancy agreement, which suggests the presence of regulation. Consulting the owner of the property that he wishes to purchases shows there is an authority that regulates property transactions. A mixed economy gives buyers and sellers the freedom to do business but with regulation by a central authority.

The property that Joe wishes to buy is private property. It belongs to the seller and not to the public or government. Joe can only purchase a property and acquire its title if it is private property.
