1. Businesses regularly set prices to satisfy demand or to reflect the premium that consumers are willing to pay for a product or service. This can result in $2 bottles of water, $150 running shoes, different prices at gas stations only miles or block apart, and $500 concert tickets as well as different prices in different parts of the country/world or at different times of the year, as described in the textbook chapter.

a. Explain your reasoning for the stance that you selected.
