Calculate effects of price floor

For higher level, you need to be able to use a price floor diagram to be able to calculate changes in consumer expenditure, firm's revenue and the cost to the government of buying any surplus. The presentation below goes through this. Click on the screenshot or link below to open the presentation. It will open in a new web window.
