Expert Solution
Step 1: Define Price ceiling

A price ceiling is the government-imposed maximum price of a product. 

A price ceiling is binding when it is set below the equilibrium price. 

A binding price ceiling causes a shortage in the market. (i.e., quantity supply is lower than quantity demanded)

------------------

A price ceiling is non-binding when it is set above the equilibrium price.

Because market forces bring the equilibrium in the market whenever the price ceiling is set above the equilibrium price.
