Aprice ceiling is “binding” if the price ceiling is set below the equilibrium price. suppose that the equilibrium price is $5. if a price ceiling is set at $6, this will not affect the market in any way since $5 remains a legally allowable price (since $5 < $6). a price ceiling of $6 is called a “non-binding” price ceiling. on the other hand, if the price ceiling is set at $4, the price ceiling is “binding” because the natural equilibrium price is $5 but that is no longer allowed. what happens when there is a binding price ceiling? at a price below the equilibrium price, quantity demanded exceeds quantity supplied. there is a shortage. normally, price increases eliminate shortages by increasing quantity supplied and decreasing quantity demanded. in this case, however, price increases are not allowed past the price ceiling. we therefore predict that the observed market price will be right at the price ceiling and there will be a permanent shortage. the observed quantity bought and sold will be dictated by the quantity supplied at the price ceiling. although consumers would like to buy more, there are no more units for sale

The following accounts are denominated in pesos as of december 31, 2015. for reporting purposes, these amounts need to be stated in u. s. dollars. for each balance, indicate the exchange rate that would be used if a translation is made under the current rate method. then, again for each account, provide the exchange rate that would be necessary if a remeasurement is being made using the temporal method. the company was started in 2000. the buildings were acquired in 2002 and the patents in 2003. (round your answers to 2 decimal places.) exchange rates for 1 peso are as follows: 2000 1 peso = $ 0.28 2002 1 = 0.26 2003 1 = 0.25 january 1, 2015 1 = 0.24 april 1, 2015 1 = 0.23 july 1, 2015 1 = 0.22 october 1, 2015 1 = 0.20 december 31, 2015 1 = 0.16 average for 2015 1 = 0.19
