Merv's hardware, a small family-owned store in middletown, sells a 100-pack of garnet sandpaper for $35
the home shoppe, a large retail hardware chain in neighboring morristown, sells the same product for $29
based on this scenario, what would you expect merv's immediate response to be?
a
merv will remove his advertisements and rely on word of mouth.
b
merv will reduce his price to respond to the price competition from the homeshoppe.
c
the homeshoppe will initiate non-price competition with merv.
d
the homeshoppe will raise its price to respond to the price compet

The correct answer is B. Merv will reduce his price to respond to the price competition from the HomeShoppe.

This is because, otherwise, it could not compete against the prices of a large retail hardware chain and its advertising methods.

Lowering the price, Merv could keep its stable base of clients, which would go to HomeShoppe if there was a difference of 6 dollars for the same product.

a politically correct answer.

explanation:

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
