Homework Answers
A price ceiling is said to be binding (or effective price ceiling) if it is set below the equilibrium price.
An effective price ceiling creates a shortage in the market because at the price ceiling below the equilibrium price the quantity demand is higher than the quantity supply.
If a price ceiling is set above the equilibrium price, then there is neither a shortage nor a surplus in the market. Because market forces put downward pressure on the prices and bring down the price to the equilibrium price and the market operates at the equilibrium.
A price ceiling of $180 is set above the equilibrium price. Therefore, there will be neither a shortage nor a surplus in the market.
