question 42

Multiple Choice

Intel is ready to introduce its new microprocessor.In chip manufacturing,as more chips are produced,production yields rise.Thus,Intel can choose between a below-cost pricing strategy (upper branch) to reach the higher-yield zone more quickly,or an above-cost pricing strategy (lower branch) and move to the higher-yield zone more slowly.AMD will introduce its new microprocessor two months after Intel,and faces the same below-cost (upper branch) and above-cost (lower branch) strategies.Writing out the outcomes on the decision tree might prove helpful as you answer the following questions.
