Chapter 11, Problem 4BCP
Summary Introduction
Case summary: Low Enriched Uranium (LEU) is used by nuclear power plants as fuel. The utility plants have options to either purchase LEU from the enricher or, provide the same to the enrichers and bear the cost of its processing. However, if the feed uranium is brought back to the plant, it may not be of the same quality as provided because of the fungible tendency of LEU. Few foreign enrichers exported LEU to the U.S. for a value less than the fair value.
To find: Foreign enrichers were involved in dumping when they exported LEU in the U.S. for a value less than the fair value.

1) Supplier and Retail Firm
A retail-level firm has a contract to sell a single unit of a good to a consumer for 10$. Not
delivering the good leads to no payment from the consumer along with a penalty of 5$ to be paid
to the consumer by the firm as per the contract between the firm and the consumer.
The retail-level firm must also pay an operating cost of 3$ in order to stay in business and in
order to be able to deliver the good. This cost must be paid even if the firm decides not to sell
the good. Failing to deliver the good and having to pay the penalty and the other costs would
lead to the retail firm going out of business.
A supplier firm is the only firm in the world that can build the good. The supplier can build
the good for 2$ and does so after an order is made. The supplier cannot sell directly to the
consumer and there is only one retail firm in this market.
Both the supplier and the retailer only care about their own private profit. There is no contract
at this point…
