What is the effect of a price floor on the market?

• It decreases producer surplus

• It increases consumer surplus

• It creates a shortage

How does a price floor affect deadweight loss?

• It eliminates deadweight loss

• It has no effect on deadweight loss

• It increases deadweight loss

• It decreases deadweight loss

What is the relationship between total surplus and deadweight loss?

• Total surplus and deadweight loss are unrelated

• Total surplus is unaffected by deadweight loss

• Deadweight loss increases total surplus

• Deadweight loss reduces total surplus
