For the answer to the question above, I believe the answer is If Jason raises his price he would lose all his customers.

Because a teenager could do that and he doesn't need an experience for lawn mowing and if you'll gonna increase your price. Be sure that you offer something additional or something special. A price hike in a competitive market is not good at all. Whether it's a big or a small business
