Answer & Explanation

Monopoly is where in the market there is only one seller in the market has a certain product where no other seller has. It my be goods or services but there is no substitute. This means that the owner of such a product is in full control of his/her supply. The main or the greatest impact of monopoly in the market may favors the the seller only while on the other the side the consumer may be pressed. This mostly occurs when it comes to pricing because a monopoly has potential to rise prices. This is due to lack of competition in the market. An example of monopoly in the united states in the past was :

Standard Oil company - This was an oil producing company which was producing,transporting,refining and marketing oil. It was incorporated under Standard Oil Trust which handled all oil production, transportation, refinement, and marketing. Holds 91% of oil production and 85% of its final sales in the United States Market in the early 1900s.  The main sources of of monopoly were that to join into a certain industry it was very expensive so this became a main barrier.

. Discuss and Implement the Price Adjustment Strategies in current market. Apply each strategy with 3 examples along with pictur
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

There are many different price adjustment strategies which can be implemented in the current market.

Explanation:

Psychological pricing:

Psychological pricing is a strategy in which the price of a product is displayed with mostly one cent difference so the whole number shown is less by $1 and this difference can get higher if the price of the product is more.

Example 1: The price for a toy in a toy shop is $4.99, if rounded this will be $5 but the whole number visible is $4.

Example 2: The price of a laptop is $193, this again is nearly $200 but the price is reduced by $7 in order to influence their customers into buying the product.

Example 3: The price of a car is $35,995, this again is about $36,000 but the buyer may be influenced by this technique and result in purchasing the product with such price.

Geographical Pricing:

Geographical pricing is a strategy where different prices are charged in different outlets, this strategy is made keeping in mind the purchasing power of the locality, if the local people can pay higher price for a product then the price is high there but same product may have a lower price in an area where people can not pay high price.

Example 1: Price of a T-shirt is $15 in a posh area while the price of the same T-shirt is $5 in an area with poor locality.

Example 2: Price of a hair brush is $10 in a poor area while the same brush is available in a posh area at a rate of $35.

Example 3: Price for a food item is $6 in a restaurant in posh area while the same burger is available for $3 in a restaurant in a poor area.
