Food rationing kept prices down. In fact, one of the main purposes of rationing by coupons was to prevent, or at least drastically limit, rationing by price. (Without rationing by coupons, shortages would have driven food prices sky high, and no government wants riots during a difficult war).

In some cases, when governments or regulatory bodies set a maximum price for a good, this leads to black markets. To be effective, the maximum price has to be below the market price that prevails as a result of the interaction of demand and supply. For example, the market price of wheat is $5. Government is regulating the industry and fixes a price of $4 as the maximum price. Supply of wheat is going to reduce and demand is going to increase based on the laws of demand and supply. This will lead to a shortage as people are demanding more wheat than is being supplied. Some consumers will be willing to pay the original market price for wheat ($5) and some will be willing to pay even higher. This leads to a black market where suppliers will provide the willing consumers with wheat at a price higher than the prevailing one.
Cost Price = Selling Price - Profit Profit = Selling price * profit percentage Example: Selling Price = 10 Profit % = 50% Profit = 10*50/100 = 5 Cost price = 10 - 5 Cost Price = 5
