Expert Solution
Step 1: Define price floor and price ceiling

A price ceiling is the price set by the government which is the maximum that should be charged from the customer. 

The price ceiling is binding when it lies below the equilibrium price. 

A price floor is the price set by the government which is the minimum that should be charged from the customer. 

The price floor is binding when it lies above the equilibrium price.
