Libby's canned beans are sold in many grocery stores and department stores. Most of the time, those stores sell the beans with a price per can. Zip's market sells the beans for $1 per can OR 3 cans for $2.50 Two sellers of Libby's beans have been circulating a letter to all sellers of the beans. They say that discounting the price for a quantity of beans makes no sense. They propose an agreement that would eliminate any quantity discount and require the beans to only be sold on a per can basis. The sellers argue that all sellers would make more money if the quantity discount were eliminated. Is the proposed agreement legal? Yes, Libby's and its retailers must have every tool available to compete with other companies that manufacture canned beans. Yes, all sellers of beans will make more money. No, the proposal will harm competition by preventing price competition among sellers of beans. No, the Libby's Company should be telling its retailers the exact price to charge to consumers.
