Suppose that a business is located in a major city with a large population of a minority group. However, the owner of the company is bigoted against that minority group and instructs his managers and employees not to sell to them.
Which of the following are most likely consequences of this discriminatory approach to business?

O Competing businesses will open to serve the minority customers that are being excluded and potentially capture a portion of the first company's market share.
O Market forces will have no impact on the situation and the only way to eliminate the discrimination is to implement government affirmative actions programs.
O The company will cut into its own profits by refusing to sell to minorities since they represent a significarit portion of potential customers.
O The company will increase its profits substantially since customers who agree with the bigoted owner will reward the company by increasing demand for the company's product.
