Sandra wants to purchase a Nitro scooter from the only Nitro dealer in town, but the dealer will not sell her the scooter unless she also purchases an extended warranty for $1,000. Sandra does not want to purchase the extended warranty from the dealer because she knows she can purchase the exact same warranty from her insurance company for $500. In this instance, the Nitro dealer appears to be violating one of the provisions of:

a. the Robinson-PatmanAct.

b. the Sherman Act.

c. the Federal Trade Commission Act.

d. the Clayton Act.

London · Answer 1

Option D The Clayton Act.

Explanation:

This legislation says that the unethical business practices are forbidden. This means if the Nitro dealer is asking for $500 extra for no reason then he is following an unethical business practice. So the Nitro Dealer is violating Clayton Antitrust act by fixing a price and then enforcing Sandra for purchase. So the violation is of provision of Clayton Act which prohibits price fixing.
