Solution:

If the price floor is $2, then the new market rate is also SAME (that is $2). The reason behind this is because price floor is manadatory. A price floor is the lowest price which is set up by the legal enforcemnt agency and it is must that price floor must be above the equilibrium price.

At $2 price, number of Frisbees that are sold are only 2 million. The reason behind is becuase this is the quantity that is demanded.
