Expert Solution
Introduction

A price ceiling becomes binding when the market price is higher than the legally established maximum price.

Absolute advantage refers to a producer's raw efficiency in producing a good or service, while comparative advantage refers to a producer's relative efficiency in producing a good or service. Both absolute and comparative advantage are important concepts for understanding why countries trade and the benefits of trade for countries and producers.
