Answer 1

Robinson-Patman Act

Answer 2

The Robinson-Patman Act is a United States federal law that prohibits anticompetitive practices by producers, specifically price discrimination. This Act aims to protect small businesses and consumers by ensuring that sellers offer the same price terms to customers at a given level of trade. Given that Johnson Brothers charges different prices for the same products in different regions despite uniform costs, this practice falls under the purview of the Robinson-Patman Act.
