YOU BE THE JUDGE WRITING PROBLEM American Academic Suppliers (AAS) and Beckley-Cardy (B-C) both sold educational supplies to schools. When BC's sales began to plummet, it responded by reducing its catalog prices. It also offered an additional discount in states in which AAS was making substantial gains. What claim might AAS make against B-C? Is it likely to prevail in court? Argument for AAS: B-C has committed predatory pricing. The company is selling below cost for the purpose of driving us out of business. Argument for B-C: Even if we were to drive AAS out of business, we do not have enough market power to recoup our losses.
