Pluto Ltd (Pluto) manufactures generators for domestic users
Pluto Ltd (Pluto) manufactures generators for domestic users. Seven years ago Pluto manufactured a generator far superior to any of its competitors at half the price. It has therefore dominated the market over the past few years. However, recently one of Pluto’s main competitors introduced a new generator to the market. Based on the new competitor’s latest advertisements, you are aware that the competitor’s generator can produce electricity at twice the amount of Pluto’s generator by spending same amount of fuel and hence is superior to Pluto’s generator.
