Effect of below the market-clearing level price ceiling

Assume the supply curve for a good is completely inelastic. If the government imposed a price ceiling below the market-clearing level, would deadweight loss result? Describe.

Consumer surplus increases by the difference between the market-clearing price and the price ceiling times the market-clearing quantity. Consumers capture all reduction in total revenue. Thus, no deadweight loss occurs.
