Step 1

Price controls aim at setting a minimum and maximum prices for the product for the welfare of the people. These prices are set by the government. Price ceiling is undertaken by the government to set maximum prices for the product to ensure that consumers are not exploited. Floor price is used to set minimum prices for the product to ensure producers are paid just prices.
