C. $1700

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

D. $1,800

Step-by-step explanation:

The market price is the amount that a product or service trades for, as determined by demand and supply forces. It is the most current price that a good, service, or share has traded. The market price is the actual amount that can be realized when a product or service is sold.

The market price for the new bicycle is $1800. The salesperson represents the supply side, while Erick is on the demand side of the market. They agree on $1800. This price is where demand meet supply and is the market price.
