If a price floor is set above the equilibrium price, the price floor has two separate effects and both help create a surplus of the good. First, the higher price increases the quantity supplied. Second, the higher price decreases the quantity demanded. On both countsthe increase in the quantity supplied and the decrease in the quantity supplieda surplus is created.
