Difficulty—
The retail price of decaffeinated coffee is considerably higher than that of regular coffee. However, the process by which coffee beans are decaffeinated is fairly simple and not very costly. Therefore, the price difference cannot be accounted for by the greater cost of providing decaffeinated coffee to consumer.
The argument relies on assuming which one of the following?
A. Process regular coffee costs more than processing decaffeinated coffee.
B. Price differences between products can generally be accounted for by such factors as supply and demand, not by differences in production costs.
C. There is little competition among companies that process decaffeinated coffee.
D. Retail coffee-sellers do not expect that consumers are content to pay more for decaffeinated coffee than for regular coffee.
E. The beans used for producing decaffeinated coffee do not cost much more before processing than the beans used for producing regular coffee.
