We are currently charging a 10 percent premium over its price, but there are rumors that it is contemplating a 10 percent price increase to bring its price in line with ours. We don’t know its cost structure, so we don’t know whether its price increase is driven by rising costs or a strategic move to gain margin.Historically, when we both charge the same price, our market share is about 65 percent. When we charge a 10 percent premium over its price, our market share declines to about 60 percent. It appears that in those instances when it charges a 10 percent higher price than us, our market share is about 70 percent.Please provide a recommendation regarding whether we should maintain our current price or reduce our price to $79.95.…arrow_forward
