Explain how firms/businesses compete without lowering their prices

Business
1 answer:
Sveta_85 [38]3 years ago
6 0

There are several ways a firm can compete without lowering their prices and they all involve differentiating themselves from competition. This is done by:

  • having a product with actual physical differences (samsung and Apple phones compete because they are similar but ultimately have different features)
  • Providing better service: there may be 100 dry cleaners in your city, but if one always makes sure your clothes are perfect and treats you like a valued customer you will go to them even if they don't cut prices.
  • Advertising - ads will increase the recognition of the brand and help it stand out in the marketplace without having to attract customers by dropping the price

solmaris [256]

Maggie can buy 3 gifts

Solution:

Total budget $19

Each gift costs $4

Shipping fee $7

a.  Total budget — Shipping fee = $19 - $7 = $12  

Maggie’s got $12 more

Each gift costs $4  

Number of gifts that Maggie can buy = \frac{12}{4}  =3  

b.   Let x represent the number of gifts.  

                      19 = 7 +4x

       Subtract -7 from both sides

             19 - 7= 7 + 4x - 7

            Now Simplify,

                   12 = 4x

         Divide both sides by 4

                   \frac{12}{4} = \frac{4x}{4}

                      x = 3
