Suppose the supply and demand curves for a particular product are given by: QS = -20 + 2P QD =100 - 2P where QS and QD are quantities in units and P is the price per unit.  Suppose the government implements a price ceiling of $20/unit in this market. Is this price ceiling binding on the market? What are the quantities demanded and supplied at the price ceiling? How many units are exchanged at this price? Given the effects of the policy, is there a potential for illegal trade? Briefly explain your answers where necessary.
