Price Floor
A price floor is a government-imposed minimum price that must be paid for a good or service.
Price floors are typically set above the equilibrium price to support producers' incomes. However, they can lead to surpluses, as quantity supplied exceeds quantity demanded at the floor price. Examples include minimum wage laws.
