Its only competitor, Company XYZ, sells a similar product but has a smaller market share. Presently, ABC earns a profit of $1,800, while XYZ earns $1,200. ABC is now confronted with a challenge: its rival, XYZ. is signaling a potential price reduction to attract more customers. ABC has two strategic options: lower its price or maintain the price. If ABC reduces its price before XYZ does, it could potentially increase its profit to $2, 000, while XYZ might see its profit halve. However, if both ABC and XYZ lower their prices, leading to a price war, ABC's profit could drop by $200, and XYZ's profit could decrease by $300. On the other hand, if ABC chooses to retain its current pricing while XYZ reduces its price, ABC's profit might decline to $1.300. Meanwhile, XYZ could potentially attract more customers and increase its profit to approximately $1, 500. Illustrate the market…arrow_forward
