 <span>There was the Sherman Act, the first of the anti-trust laws, which disallowed monopolies, and price fixing. to ensure the consumer a fair price by preventing one company from controlling an entire market, thereby insuring a particular product would need to be priced competitively. 
There was also the Interstate Commerce Act which prohibited the railroads from both price gouging and price discrimination, ie. charging more for smaller loads and shorter distances, which greatly affected small business like farmers, who couldn't afford to pay more for less, and big businesses were paying less for more. Sound familiar? This Act forced railroads to have one fair rate applying to everyone, and it must be posted for all to see.</span>

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

C. The government guarantees that potato farmers will receive at least​ $50 a ton.

Explanation:

Price floor is implemented by the government or a group where price control is imposed or limit is placed on how low a price a product can be sold.

For price floor to be effective it must be higher than the equillibrum price.

Equillibrum price is the price at which quantity consumers are willing to pay for is equal to quantity suppliers re willing to sell.

Price floors are usually used to keep commodity prices from going too low.

So if the government guarantees farmers will receive at least $50 per ton of potato, they are setting a price floor of $50.
