A quick reminder!

Good Morning,!

So I realized that there'sconfusion between price CEILING and price FLOOR. I know, I know it sounds very self-explanatory, but if you use common sense, you will NOT understand.

Price floor is the lowest legal price a commodity can be sold at. A price floor creates a surplus.  Price floors are used by the government to prevent prices from being too low. The most common price floor is the minimum wage.


Price ceiling creates a shortage.  A price ceiling occurs when the government puts a legal limit on how high the price of a product can be.  In order for a price ceiling to be effective, it must be set below equilibrium. 

*Ms. MCCARTNEY'S NOTES*

 In conclusion, when in doubt think of price CEILING and price FLOOR as opposites.
