Answer to Question 1

Resale price maintenance occurs when a manufacturer agrees with a distributor on the price at which the product will be resold. For instance, Sony could arrange with Best Buy the price for which Sony televisions are sold. Resale price maintenance (also called vertical price fixing) agreements are illegal under the Sherman Act. But it isn't illegal for a manufacturer to refuse to supply a retailer who doesn't accept guidance on what the price should be.

Answer to Question 2

FALSE
