Answer: Price ceiling

Quantity demanded

Quantity Supplied

Shortage

Step-by-step explanation:

A price ceiling is the maximum price a seller is allowed to sell a good or service.

A price ceiling usually stimulates and increases demand because of the lower prices.

Supply falls because suppliers would reduce production due to a reduction in price.

As result demand outstrips supply and there's a shortage of the product.
