Expert Solution

Step 1
The price ceiling refers to a maximum-price that can be charged on a good service in the market, which is fixed by the government. A binding price ceiling happens when the government sets a required price on a good at a price below equilibrium, which foils an increase in the price of that good or service above the binding level.
