Question
Convertibles. Barry, a new car dealer, advertised that a new brand of convertible called Wind would be available at his dealership for the price of $10,000 each. He had only three Wind vehicles, however; and when those were sold, he tried to convince shoppers to purchase a much more expensive new convertible at a price of $25,000. Kathy, a customer who decided to purchase one of the more expensive vehicles needed financing in order to do so. She had $10,000 to pay on the car and sought a loan from ABC Bank for the remainder. She wanted the loan for a specific amount of time. ABC Bank offered her the loan and she agreed. The only information she received from ABC Bank was confirmation that she borrowed $15,000 at an 8% interest rate. After receiving several complaints, the Federal Trade Commission disapproved of Barry's action in regard to the Wind vehicles. Claiming that his advertisement was misleading, the Commission proceeded to issue a cease-and-desist order prohibiting deceptive advertising involving Wind vehicles and also in regard to any other vehicles Barry offered for sale. Which of the following terms references the cease-and-desist order entered by the Federal Trade Commission involving not only Barry's sales of Wind, but also his sales of all other vehicles?
A multiple cease-and-desist order
A multiple-product order
A combined order
A superlative order
An exceptional order
Explanation / Answer
A multiple-product order is the term which references the cease-and-desist order entered by the Federal Trade Commission involving not only Barry's sales of Wind, but also his sales of all other vehicles. As a multiple product order is a kind of order which is being issued by the Federal Trade Commission to a firm that has engaged in deceptive advertising by which the firm is required to cease and desist from false advertising not only in regard to the product that was the subject of the action but also in regard to all the firm's other products.
