Question

What’s going on here? As soon as Dewey Cheatum and Howe Motors increase the prices on their SUVs, then so does their only competitor, You Betcha Motors! Their prices are basically the same for similar vehicles, although their advertising says their products are really very different. What kind competition exists here?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is oligopolistic competition

Explanation:

Price can be defined as the amount of money for which a goods or services is been offered for sale by the sellers of the goods. It is a sum of money at which the seller and the buyer agrees to exchange a goods or services. The price of a product or services usually shows the cost of the product and the quality of a product or services been offered for sale by the sellers. When a business set a price for their products or services they usually takes into consideration factors such as survival, profit maximization, return on their investment, market share, and the business prestige.

The strategy of setting the same price with your competitors is called oligopolistic competition. In this case, if one competitor wants to be ahead of other competitors in the market, then such a competitor has to include in their product features that will not be found in the product of their competitors, through this process such a competitor would be ahead of their competitors in the market by having the larger share of the market.
