Question:

Government intervention in form of price floor creates _____.

Options:

Excess demand

No excess supply

Excess supply

No excess demand

Correct Answer:

Excess supply

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3: Excess supply

 

  • A price floor is a minimum price set by the government above the equilibrium price to ensure that producers receive fair compensation.
  • Since the price is artificially kept high, suppliers want to sell more, but consumers demand less at that price.
  • This results in excess supply because quantity supplied is greater than quantity demanded.
