Imagine that you own a small hardware store and need to price several new items. What legal considerations would you need to take when pricing these items

The legal considerations that would be taken into account when pricing items in a small hardware store are:

1. Predatory pricing: This strategy prices items very low for the purpose of eliminating competition. It is illegal.  Since predatory pricing violates antitrust laws, it causes the rising of monopolistic markets and the creation of monopolies.  The allegations of predatory pricing are usually hard to prove because of the counter-argument that it could be part of normal competition.

2. Price discrimination:  The Robinson-Patman act prohibits price discrimination or the attempt of companies to sell the same goods at different prices to different consumers.

3. Both predatory pricing and price discrimination because of their negative economic consequences are regarded as deliberate moves by business entities to undermine the marketplace and the forces of demand and supply.  They are frowned at ethically and severely punished in the court of law.

Explanation:

When setting prices, it is a standard practice to consider all factors that could result in business problems and legal battles.  It is not only economic profit consideration that should be taken care of, but there are competitive, socio-legal, and growth factors to be considered.  Ethics is also another important consideration.  Unethical violations could lead to fraudulent and illegal prosecutions.

steering wheels are always situated on the left side of the car.

always drive on the right side of the road.

white lines separate lanes of traffic traveling the same direction.

hashed or broken lines means you may change lanes when it is safe.

solid white lines mean stay in your lane.

yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposing directions.

hashed or broken yellow lines mean you can carefully pass, paying attention to oncoming traffic.

never cross a solid yellow line (or double yellow line).

when turning left at an intersection, pass in front of any cars that are turning left from the opposing direction (do not try to pass behind them).

use the left lane to pass other cars traveling your direction.

do not pass in the right lane unless absolutely necessary.

if you are driving in the far left hand lane and someone would like to pass you, move over to the right lane when it is safe to do so and allow them to pass.

you must always yield to pedestrians.

come to a complete stop whenever you see pedestrians trying to cross the street.

never pass a school bus if it has flashing red lights. wait until the lights have stopped.

be aware of bicyclists. often they share the road with cars and are supposed to also follow general traffic laws.

be particularly careful about driving in cities with bike lanes -- always check before turning that a bike is not coming.

it is mandatory to pull over or stop at an intersection to allow an emergency vehicle to pass you if you see one traveling with lights flashing and/or a siren running.

do not overuse your car horn. horns are used almost exclusively for emergency situations or for when you feel unsafe.
