    Cutting price
    Hello I have a difficulty in answering this question can any one please help me ?as soon as possible ?


    Assume you are a manager at one of supermarkets in town. Supermarkets are torn between pricing high to extract buyer surplus from loyal customers and pricing low to grab price-sensitive consumers. The dilemma is compounded in the presence of competition. Cutting price may not raise profit if a competing supermarket cuts price even lower.
    A summer intern college student suggests to randomize the price discounts. Indeed, the dazzling array of “specials” in a supermarket advertisement does appear like randomized discounts.
    Please evaluate the suggestion above. Would you adopt that suggestion, and why?

    What do YOU think? As a customer, would you like that system of pricing?

    Go to three different chains of supermarkets and look at prices. Compare prices on certain items. (Make a spreadsheet.) Look at ads for those same supermarkets. What do you see?

    Education takes work. I worked in a grocery store for 10 years and have a degree in this area. You won't learn if you get your answers from someone else. Is the issue that you are taking a class in English and you don't understand the language enough to answer these questions?

    I'll give you some hints. Supermarkets generally do have a lot of competition. They do have a wide variety of items. Hence, they engage in something of a game with each other, sending out spy shoppers. They also time their ads. The result is a dance of sorts - you rarely see the same items on sale at competing stores, except before big holidays. Look up 'loss leader.'
