Outdoor Sporting World (OSW), a national chain, has been doing business with Casper Sports, a manufacturer of skateboards, for several years. Recently, it came to the attention of OSW's financial director that the average cost per Casper Sports skateboard had substantially increased over that of the previous year. The financial director asked the marketing department if they knew what the Casper skateboards cost at competing sporting goods stores, to see if they too were likely hit with a higher cost.
The marketing department found that the Casper skateboards were priced at $15 less in the competing store than at OSW. The financial director found that Casper Sports was selling a similar number of skateboards to one of OSW's competitors for $10 less per skateboard.
