Answer to Question 1

B
Demand does not exceed supply for most consumer nondurables in developed markets. Individual countries in the European Union (like France) may have laws and regulations against certain promotions, but the European Union does not have a policy discouraging the use of free promotions. French companies rarely offer an extra product for free because the amount the company is allowed to give away is limited to seven percent of the total value.

Answer to Question 2

False
