Flying disk manufacturers persuade the government that flying disk production improves scientists' understanding of aerodynamics and thus is important for national security. A concerned Congress votes to impose a price floor $2 above the equilibrium price.
Complete the second row of the previous table by indicating the new price and quantity of flying disks when Congress imposes a price floor $2 above the equilibrium price. Then indicate whether the price floor is binding or not binding.
Irate college students march on Washington and demand a reduction in the price of flying disks. An even more concerned Congress votes to repeal the price floor and impose a price ceiling $3 below the former price floor.
Complete the final row of the previous table by indicating the new price and quantity of flying disks when Congress imposes a price ceiling $3 below the former price floor. Then indicate whether the price ceiling is binding or not binding.
