Question

I went to Mcdonald's recently. The medium french fries were priced at Rs 83 and the large french fries were priced at Rs 101 which was proportionately much lower. What could be the reason?

• A. Mcdonald's only want large groups to buy french fries.
• B. McDonald's want their customers to opt for large french fries rather than medium french fries
• C. McDonald's does not want its customers to buy fries as they take more time to be consumed
• D. McDonald's want to penalize the customers who opt for medium fries.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

McDonald's want their customers to opt for large french fries rather than medium french fries

People going to Mcdonald's usually like to have fries with their meal. If only large fries are sold, people might be reluctant to buy. If medium fries are priced lower, people might usually opt for it, reducing their sales. By adjusting the prices, the customers are compelled to buy the large fries because it seems more attractive compared to medium fries.
