Answer:

c. reduction strategy

Explanation:

Based on the situation being described within the question it can be said that Wayth is using a reduction strategy. This is a strategy used by companies who are struggling with sales and may or may not be losing money. With this strategy they reduce costs in many aspects of the business in order to try to increase profits and survive. Which is what Wayth is doing by closing the most under-performing facilities and laying off unessential staff.

The Hull Petroleum Company and Inverted V are retail gasoline franchises that compete in a local market to sell gasoline to cons
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

I believe that the demand equation is incomplete, since there is no price (P).

If we just solve this equation like it is, the quantity demanded = 80 - 12 = 68 gallons

if we add the price into the equation:

Q = 80 - 12P

since this is a competitive market, in order to maximize profits, marginal revenue = marginal cost = $4.10 per gallon (not $410).

That means that both companies will sell gasoline at $4.10 per gallon

equilibrium quantity = 80 - (12 x 4.10) = 30.8 gallons of gasoline
