Question 18 • * HSA 26-27 Economics

Which situation is the best example of competition in an economic system?

Answer
A
A restaurant just opened down the block from a movie theater, and the restaurant owner hopes to attract diners after each movie.
B
A small CD store slashed its prices to attract customers from a larger store that sells CDs and DVDs.
C
A store that sells sneakers has offered a special deal to customers from a nearby health club.
D
A federal agency has been created to monitor the production and distribution of food supplements.

Explanation

Competition occurs when businesses try to attract the same customers, often by offering lower prices or better products. The small CD store cuts its prices to win customers from another store selling CDs, so this is the clearest example of competition. The other choices describe attracting customers in a different way or government regulation.
