A price ceiling is when the government or an agency of the government sets the maximum price for a good or service. It is usually set below equilibrium price.
Price ceiling increase consumer surplus and reduce producer surplus.
A price floor is when the government or an agency of the government sets the least price a good or service can be sold. It is usually set above equilibrium price.
Price floor increases producer surplus and reduces consumer surplus.
Producers would be advocating for a price floor because it increases their surplus, while, consumers would advocate for a price ceiling.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product.

Answer:
$92,400
Explanation:
Supplies expense for 2020 would be calculated as;
= Ending balance in supplies account on December 31, 2019 + Payment for new supplies in 2020 - Balance in supplies account at the end of year 2020
Given that ;
Ending balance in supplies account = $48,400
Payment for new supplies = $86,000
Balance in supplies account at the end of year 2020 = $42,000
Therefore,
Supplies expense for 2020
= $48,400 + $86,000 - $42,000
= $92,400
