Answer 1

To determine how much money the company is forfeiting due to the promotion of "buy two bottles of soda and get one free," we first need to analyze the transaction involving a customer purchasing four bottles.

1. Cost of Soda: Each bottle is priced at $2.
2. Promotion: For every two bottles purchased, the customer gets one bottle free.

Now, let’s break down the customer’s purchase of four bottles of soda:

• The customer purchases 4 bottles.
• According to the promotion, if they buy 2 bottles, they get 1 free. Therefore, when they buy 4 bottles, they’ll receive 2 free bottles total.

Calculation of Sales

• Bottles purchased: 4
• Bottles received for free: 2
• Total bottles (purchased + free): 4 (purchased) + 2 (free) = 6 bottles in total

Cost of Purchased Bottles

The customer pays for 4 bottles:

• 4 bottles × $2 per bottle = $8 paid

Value of Free Bottles

The company is giving away 2 free bottles:

• 2 free bottles × $2 per bottle = $4 in lost sales

Conclusion

The company is forfeiting $4 in sales for giving away 2 free bottles when 4 bottles are purchased.

So the correct answer is: B) They would give away two free bottles losing the sell amount of 2 x 2 equals $4.
