Explanation / Answer

management decides not only what to produce and how to produce it but also how much

to charge for each item. Before you took your economics course, you probably gave very little

thought to where those prices on the menu came from. You look at the price again: €5 for an

order of fried chicken. Just as you were able to learn some things about the customer from

observing her decision, you realize that you can also learn something about KFC. You know

that KFC wouldn’t sell an order of fried chicken at that price unless it was able to make a

profit by doing so. For example, if a piece of raw chicken cost €6, then KFC would obviously

make a loss. So the price charged must be greater than the cost of producing the fried chicken.
