Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Sometimes a firm prices a few products below the usual markup, near cost, or below cost, which results in what are known as price leaders. This type of pricing is used most often in supermarkets and restaurants to attract customers by offering them especially low prices on a few items, with the expectation that they will purchase other items as well. Management expects that sales of regularly-priced products will more than offset the reduced revenues from the price leaders.
