A price floor should be placed to prevent adverse soyabean prices which is much below average . So a price ceiling should be set at average price say $9 . Price will not be allowed to fall below $9 . This causes surplus in the market , quantity supplied of soyabean becomes larger than quantity demanded at $9 price floor .
