We have seen a strong increase in oil prices and up to this year we see that the world has been able to absorb that,

Faux Wood blinds represent nearly 50% of our revenue, so we were set up to take a big hit if we were forced to increase our prices. Our decision was to absorb most of the raw material increase, which would keep prices stable for our customers. Not too many of our competitors have the volume to make the same decision.

There was an increase in thefts immediately, especially with the dramatic increase of prices. After Katrina, there were so many retailers that couldn't absorb losses anymore ... so they went to prepay. They couldn't afford that one drive-off a day that would hurt their gas profits. And with Rita ... we will see more stations go pre-pay, if nothing else, as a temporary solution.

Firms have to be very concerned about rising prices. They're protecting their profit margins. They're going to be looking at every nook and cranny to absorb this increase.

We were able to maintain 6 percent growth this year despite increase of world oil prices, tsunami effect and many more in the country,

Prices went a lot higher than most of us expected a year ago. The factors that caused prices to surge aren't likely to go away next year. The volatility of the market may even increase.

The real question is whether companies will squeeze their (profit) margins as costs increase or if they are going to increase prices. I think they will increase prices.

Most of that increase they note is due to high world oil prices. The same study reflects that ethanol affects prices by just a few pennies.

With weak economic conditions around the world, this was a strong finish to a strong year, ... The combination of sharply higher gross margin and excellent overhead control allowed us to provide a healthy increase in total marketing spending worldwide while also meeting our profit expectations.

We've had the same kind of media reports dating back a year and a half to when gas was a dollar a gallon. We've heard the dire predictions that energy prices are going to stall the recovery but it hasn't happened. So far, I think people have been able to absorb the jump in gas prices to $2.25 or $2.50 a gallon. There's probably a limit, though, about $3 a gallon.

We do believe there will be some kind of production increase because [OPEC doesn't] want to kill the goose that lays the golden egg, which is world economic growth. But we don't see prices dipping below $35 per barrel this year.

It hasn't been necessary to raise my prices. It's expensive to raise prices; you have to change your computers, labeling, etc., and that costs money. Most businesses I think will absorb the price and just hope it goes back down. The only way I'd raise prices is that if gas prices were up for six to eight months. Then I'd probably raise them because of the deliveries we make.

There's a simple reason why that's so. The cost increase for businesses to cover the living wage is generally a very small share of their overall operating budget - in the range of 1 to 2 percent. So those kind of costs can be passed through to consumers in the form of slightly higher prices or could be passed through in terms of slight reduction in profitability or improvements in productivity - so that the adjustments that businesses have to make in order to absorb the wage increase for their lowest-paid workers is not really that large.

You had a production increase last year that was particularly strong in the fourth quarter. Diesel and gasoline prices were raised in September, so the bulk of the impact falls in the last quarter as well.
