Seller A proposes a price of $2,592.00; Seller B, a price of $2,550.00 and Seller C, a price of $1,400.00. Seller C is low, but the difference is large. If you are conducting a price analysis, which should be your next step?

a. Accept Seller B—the next best price. It is obvious that Seller C’s product is inferior.
b. Accept Seller C and move forward with the purchase.
c. This must be checked to see if Seller C is proposing the same item(s) and has made no errors in the proposed pricing.
d. This decision is above your pay grade. Take it to your boss.
