Default Calculating a Formula Subject to a Maximum and Minimum Value

I am having trouble coming up with a correct formula and I am hoping that someone may be able to help. I am trying to multiply two numbers in two different cells, but have the product subject two a minimum amount that is located in another cell and a maximum amount located in another cell so that the formula returns either the actual product, or the minimum value if the actual product is less than the minimum or the maximum value if the actual product is greater than the maximum. Here is an example.

A B
1 Rate 20%
2 Maximum 75
3 Minimum 40
4
5 Gross Net
6 100 20
7 200 40
8 300 60
9 400 80

Column A rows 6 - 9 are being multiplied by cell B1 - the product is shown in cells B6-B9. I want the values in cells B6-B9 to return the product of the numbers that are being multiplied except if the product is less than the minimum (40 shown in cell B3), then the minimum value of 40 should be returned or if the product is greater than the maximum value (75 shown in cell B2), then the maximum value of 75 should be returned. The results should look like this:

A B
1 Rate 20%
2 Maximum 75
3 Minimum 40
4
5 Gross Net
6 100 40
7 200 40
8 300 60
9 400 75

Can anyone help with this? Thanks in advance!
