Answer:

CPC Inc. will probably lose the suit.

Explanation:

The Robinson-Patman Act contains the regulations that govern price discrimination. The purpose of this Act is to prevent unfair competition. The Act sets forth that a business must sell its products at the same price regardless of who the purchaser is. However, in the question at issue, there is a not-for-profit hospital involved, which is the buyer of the drugs. In this case, PharMax may resort to the Non-Profit Institutions Act (NPIA), which is the exemption to the Robinson–Patman Act referred to above, and claim that according to the NPIA, pharmaceutical manufacturers are entitled to sell hospitals, libraries and universities (non-profit institutions), discounted products. As a consequence, the hospital shall receive the drugs at a lower price than that charged to other retail pharmacy.

To sum up, there is no violation of the price discrimination laws and CPC Inc. will lose the lawsuit.

. What arguments can be made for and against favoring the term “white collar crime” over “elite deviance”?
Viefleur [7K]
White Collar Crimes are offenses conducted by guile or concealment that involve “upper world” offenders. A better definition of white collar crime can include harmful acts which are not illegal(deviance) that are tied exclusively to violations of criminal law.
