    1. Price ceiling, Binding

    2. Price ceiling, Binding

    3. Price floor, binding

    Explanation:

    Price ceiling is a government or group control limit on how high a product, commodity or service can be charged.

    Price floor is a government or group limit on how low a product, commodity or service can be charged.

    Binding simply means you are legally bound to something while non-binding means you are not legally bound to it.
