Firm A has set very low prices for its products in an attempt to drive its competitor, Firm B, out of business. This is known as monopolistic pricing.
Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
False
This is the definition of predatory pricing. Predatory pricing is illegal under both the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Federal Trade Commission Act because it constrains free trade and represents a form of unfair competition. It also tends to promote a concentrated market with a few dominant firms (an oligopoly).
