the quantity of the good demanded with the price floor is less than the quantity demanded of the good without the price floor
A price floor is binding in a market when it is set above the equilibrium price, leading to a surplus of goods. Factors that determine whether a price floor is binding include the level at which the price floor is set, the elasticity of supply and demand for the product, and the presence of substitutes or complements in the market.
L0o
Yes, a binding price floor can cause a surplus in the market by setting the price above the equilibrium price, leading to an excess supply of the good or service.
below equilibrium price and causes a shortage
A price ceiling is the legal maximum price at which a good can be sold, while a price floor is the legal minimum price at which a good can be sold. A price ceiling is only binding when the equilibrium price is above the price ceiling. The market price then equals the price ceiling and the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied, creating a shortage of goods. A price floor is only binding when the equilibrium price is below the price floor. The market price then equals the price floor and the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded, creating a surplus of goods.

below equilibrium price and causes a shortage
A price ceiling is the legal maximum price at which a good can be sold, while a price floor is the legal minimum price at which a good can be sold. A price ceiling is only binding when the equilibrium price is above the price ceiling. The market price then equals the price ceiling and the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied, creating a shortage of goods. A price floor is only binding when the equilibrium price is below the price floor. The market price then equals the price floor and the quantity supplied exceeds the quantity demanded, creating a surplus of goods.
A price ceiling is binding when it is below the equilibrium price. It is the legal maximum price, so the market wants to reach equilibrium (which is above that) but can't legally. If it were above the equilibrium price it would not be binding because the market would reach equilibrium and the ceiling would have no effect. A price floor is binding when it is above the equilibrium price. You can use similar reasoning to that above. It is the legal minimum price. the market wants to reach equilibrium below that but can't legally.
some sellers benefit and some sellers are harmed.
If the price floor is above market equilibrium then companies are forced to sell at that price. This means the market's quantity supplied and quantity demanded will not equal each other, resulting in a surplus. If the price floor is lower than market equilibrium then the government imposed regulation is non-binding, resulting in no change to the market.
Nothing
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.
Price floor is a minimum and price ceiling is a maximum.
Price floor is a minimum and price ceiling is a maximum.
