Question 2

Suppose you have just opened a store to sell espresso machines. Both you and a competing store buy this machine from a manufacturer for 130 each.
 
  Your competitor who has a store of the same size as yours is currently selling about 10 machines a month at a price of 200 per machine. You expect to sell about 6 machines a month at a price of 220 per machine. If you lower your price, you expect to make a loss. Which of the following could explain why your competitor is able to profitably sell the machine at a lower price although the cost of purchasing the machine is the same for the both of you?
  A) The competing store probably has a lower marginal cost of production.
  B) The competing store's goal is to maximize revenue and not profit.
  C) The competing store probably has a lower average cost because average fixed cost falls as output increases.
  D) The competing store probably has a lower average variable cost of production.
