At a price of $3.70, buyers will desire to purchase 80,000 bushels, but sellers will just offer 73,000 bushels to the market.  The result is a lack of 7,000 bushels.  The ceiling prevents the price from increasing to encourage greater production, discourage consumption, & relieve the shortage. Distinguish the graph below.

At a price of $4.60, buyers only desire to purchase 65,000 bushels, but sellers desire to sell 79,000 bushels, resulting in a surplus of 14,000 bushels.  The floor stops the price from falling to remove the surplus. Observe the graph below.
