A price floor can cause a surplus while a price ceiling can cause a shortage but not always.
To calculate the producer surplus in a market, subtract the minimum price that producers are willing to accept for a product from the actual price they receive for it. This difference represents the producer surplus, which is the benefit producers gain from selling their goods at a higher price than they were willing to accept.

A surplus of goods occur
Price ceiling are maximum price for a particular good or service, usually by the government. If price ceiling is placed below an equilibrium price (set by the supply and demand of the market) there is a shortage since suppliers are not as willing to supply the goods while the consumers are willing to purchase more of the product. However, if the price ceiling is placed above an equilibrium price, it is considered non-binding and has no practical effect. Price floor works opposite of price ceiling and is a minimum price for a particular good or service. If price floor is placed above an equilibrium price there is a surplus. However, if the price ceiling is placed below an equilibrium price, it is considered non-binding and has no practical effect.

a price ceiling results in a shortage because quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. it can increase consumer surplus but producer surplus decreases by more causing a deadweight loss in the market.

To calculate producer surplus at equilibrium, subtract the minimum price that producers are willing to accept from the market price. This will give you the area above the supply curve and below the market price, representing the producer surplus.
To calculate producer surplus from a graph, find the area above the supply curve and below the market price. This area represents the difference between the price producers are willing to sell at and the actual market price, which is their surplus.
To determine producer surplus at equilibrium, calculate the area above the supply curve and below the equilibrium price. This represents the difference between the price producers are willing to accept and the price they actually receive, indicating their surplus.
