Consider a market with an equilibrium price of $10. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $8, other things equal, the result will be as follow: A shortage will occur because the price ceiling is below the equilibrium price. A surplus will occur because the price ceiling is below the equilibrium price. The price ceiling will not affect the market which will remain at equilibrium. A surplus will occur because the price ceiling is above the equilibrium price.
Andrew D.
A surplus of a product will arise when price is above equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. above equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded. below equilibrium with the result that quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. below equilibrium with the result that quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded.
