Not sure if hostile takeovers are related to this pricing strategy.

I thought variable revenues could affect profits, but I don't see how that directly relates to pricing strategies. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

I practiced a similar question where gray market products were mentioned as a consequence of price differences. It seems to fit here too.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like counterfeit products could also be a consequence. It’s a bit confusing!

I remember discussing how different pricing strategies can lead to gray market issues, so I think option B might be the right answer.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I think the pricing strategy could potentially lead to a decrease in profits, but I'm not 100% confident that's the right answer. I'll have to think it through.

Easy peasy. Differential pricing opens the door for counterfeit products, so A is the clear answer here.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know differential pricing can lead to gray market issues, but I'm not sure if that's the only unintended consequence. I'll have to review my notes.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to identify the unintended consequence that is most directly related to the pricing strategy. I'm leaning towards B.

I'd have to go with B). Gray market is just the fancy term for 'people buying cheap overseas and reselling it at home'. Happens all the time with this kind of pricing strategy.

A) Counterfeit products is a good guess too. When you have that kind of pricing disparity, it creates incentives for counterfeiters to get in on the action.

B) Gray market products in the supply chain seems like the most likely answer here. Selling at different prices in different countries is just begging for gray market goods to pop up.
