Answer:

B. Implied warranty of fitness

Explanation:

An implied warranty of fitness for an specific purpose refers to the fact that if the seller of a product knows that the product will be used for an specific purpose and that the buyer is purchasing that product for that using it that way, then an implied warranty of fitness is formed. In this case, the seller knew that Palmer was going to carry 5,000 pounds in the truck and therefore, by offering a certain truck to Palmer, an implied warranty of fitness was formed stating that the truck could carry that load.

b. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using competitive pricing is:

= $22.50 (average of competitors' prices)

c. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using penetration pricing is:

= $20 (lowest market price)

d. The price that the company should sell the new toy at if it prices using price skimming is:

= $25.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of producing a new toy = $10

Competitors' prices are:

Product A – $25

Product B – $20

Product C – $23

Product D–  $22

Total =          $90

Average price = $22.50 ($90/4)

Cost =   $10

Markup   10 ($10 * 100%)

Price = $20

b) An important consideration in the pricing of products is customers' and competitors' reactions to the firm's selling price.  The purpose of considering customers is to ensure that enough demand is generated to cover production cost and make profits.  Competitors can wage price wars to discourage new entrants into their markets.  Many pricing methods are in use, depending on the prevailing market realities.

When two parties corporate in production the good to produce can be shared base on who has comparative advantage or the person that loses less in a production process.

Suzi can produce a shirt in 6 hours while Anna produces it in 3 hours. Anna is twice as fast as Suzi.

Suzi can bake a cake in 4 hours while Anna can do so in 1 hour. So Anna is 4 times faster than Suzi in baking cakes.

It will be best for Suzi to make shirts since she is only twice as slow as Anna.

Anna will be better off baking cakes as she is four times as fast here.
