Choose the best answer andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through thecenter. g~>g]) (1) Resale Price Maintenance is the name usedwhen a retailer is compelled to sell at a price fixed by the manufacturerinstead of choosing for himself how much to add on to the wholesale price hepays for his supplies. This practice is associated with the sale of “branded”goods, which now form a very considerable proportion of consumers’ purchases,and it has led to a great deal of controversy. ,
[V#o-Z Generally such articles are packed andadvertised by the manufacturers, who try to create a special ‘image’ in theminds of possible purchasers—an image made up of the look of the article, itsuse, its price, and everything else which might lead purchasers to ask for thatbrand rather than any other. If a retailer is allowed to charge any price helikes he may find it worthwhile to sell one brand at ‘cut’ prices even thoughthis involves a loss, because he hopes to attract customers to the shop, wherethey may be persuaded to buy many other types of goods at higher prices. Themanufacturer of the brand that has been ‘cut’ fears that the retailer may betempted to reduce the services on this article; but, even if he does not thereis a danger that the customer becomes unsettled, and is unwilling to pay the‘standard’ price of the article because he feels that he is being ‘done’. Thismay, and indeed often does, affect the reputation of the manufacturer and losehim his market in the long run. X4- _l$j It is sometimes said also that thehousewife—who is the principal buyer of most of these goods—prefers a fixedprice because she knows where she is and is saved the bother of going x/Nh9hh" from shop to shop in search of lowerprices. If one shop cut all the prices of its branded goods she wouldundoubtedly have an advantage in shopping there. But this does not happen. Astore usually lowers the price of one or two of its articles which act as adecoy and makes up its losses on others, and changes the cut-price articlesfrom week to week so as to attract different groups of customers. And so thehousewife may feel rather guilty if she does not spend time tracking down thecheaper goods. How far this is true is a matter of temperament and it isimpossible to estimate what proportion of purchasers prefer a price that theycan rely on wherever they choose to buy and what proportion enjoy the challengeinvolved in finding the store that offers them a bargain. \(S69@f Those who oppose Resale Price Maintenanceon the other hand, point out that there are now a great many different channelsof distribution—chain stores, department stores, co-operative stores,independent or unit shops, supermarkets, mail-order houses, and so on. It wouldbe absurd to assume that all of them have exactly the same costs to meet instocking and selling their goods, so why should they all sell at the sameprice? If they were allowed to choose for themselves, the more efficientretailers would sell at lower prices and consumers would benefit. As it is, theretail price must be sufficient to cover the costs of the less efficientavenues of distribution and this means the others make a bigger profit thannecessary at the expense of the public. The supporters of the fixed price arguethat this is only half the story. The efficient trader can still competewithout lowering his prices. He can offer better service—long credit, or quickdelivery or a pleasant shop decor or helpful assistants—and can do this withoutimperiling the long-term interests of the manufacturer. '+@q ]Wn^m+ 31.

M v (2) He built a hut on a piece of rough landnear a rock fall. In the wet season there was a plentiful stream, and over theyears he encouraged the dry forest to surround him with a thick screen. Thegreener it became the easier it was to forget the outside. In time Melio (notwithout some terrible mistakes) learnt how to live in spite of the difficultiesup on that mountain shelf. QGWfF,q His only neighbors were a family group ofParakana Indians who, for reasons known only to themselves, took a liking toMelio. Their Chief never looked closely at Melio and said to himself that thiswhite man was as mad as a snake which chews off its own tail. The parakanastaught Melio to catch fish with the help of a wild plant which made themsenseless in the stream. It gave off a powerful drug when shaken violentlythrough the water. They showed him how to bunt by laying traps and digging. Intime Melio’s piece of land became a regular farm. He had wild birds, fatlong-legged ones and thin nearly featherless chickens, and his corn and saltedfish was enough to keep him stocked up through the wet season. AK#`&)0i The Parakanas were always around him. He’dnever admit it but he could feel that the trees were like the bars of a prison;they were watching him. It was as if he was there by courtesy of the Chief.When they came to him, the Indians never entered his house, with its steeplysloping roof of dried grass and leaves. They had a delicate way of behaving.They showed themselves by standing in the shade of the trees at the clearing’sedge. He was expected to cross the chicken strip towards them. Then they had acurious but charming habit of taking a pace back from him, just one odd stepbackwards into their green corridors. Melio never could persuade them to comeany closer. DgJG: D{ The group guessed at Melio’s hatred for hiscivilized brothers in the towns far away. They knew Melio would never inviteany more white men up here. This pleased the Parakanas. It meant that traderslooking for robber and jewels would never reach them. Their Melio would see tothat. They were safe with this man and his hatred. 4\#!Gv- ?=UIx24W 36.
