If the price ceiling is above equilibrium: no effect. If the price ceiling is below equilibrium: price lowers to the ceiling level and supply falls. There is too much demand for the current level of supply. A black market forms to capture unmet demand at high prices.
Price floor is a minimum and price ceiling is a maximum.
A price ceiling is characterized by a price set below the current market price.
nothing happens to the market since it will naturally move towards the equilibrium
A price ceiling is the legal maximum price that may be charged for a particular good or service.

Binding Versus Non-Binding price ceilingsA price ceiling can be set above or below the free-market equilibrium price. For a price ceiling to be effective, it must differ from the free market price. In the graph at right, the supply and demand curves intersect to determine the free-market quantity and price. The dashed line represents a price ceiling set above the free-market price, called a non-binding price ceiling. In this case, the ceiling has no practical effect. The government has mandated a maximum price, but the market price is established well below that.In contrast, the solid green line is a price ceiling set below the free market price, called a binding price ceiling. In this case, the price ceiling has a measurable impact on the market.
Removing in-ceiling speakers must take into account the type of ceiling in which they are installed. Typically the panel that the speaker is set in can be lowered and the speaker can be lifted out for removal.
A price floor can cause a surplus while a price ceiling can cause a shortage but not always.
A price ceiling prevents a price from rising above the ceiling. It represents an upper limit on the price of something. If wheat has a price ceiling of $400 per metric tonne, $400 is the highest amount any what supplier can charge. If the market price for wheat is below the ceiling, say $200 in this example, then the ceiling has no effect on prices; the ceiling is not binding. If the market price is higher than the ceiling, supply and demand cannot reach equilibrium and there is a shortage in the commodity. Artificially low prices result in demand that exceeds supply. The price, however, remains stuck at the ceiling.
A price floor is the minimum price set by the government where as a price ceiling is the maximum price sellers can charge for a good or service.
