A Level Business Studies - Responding to a fall in industry capacity utilisation

-
Many car manufacturers are expected to respond to a fall in overall capacity utilisation in the industry by cutting prices. To what extent is cutting prices a good way for any business to respond to a fall in the overall capacity utilisation in its industry?

Morals are not about opinions and points of view and are objectively true . For example: ‘euthanasia is evil’ – they are expressing a moral truth, not an opinion. A person uses their senses and logic to conclude ethical truths. Moral truths are facts like numbers. You can conclude something is wrong from observation and analysis .
