Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Price discrimination allows the seller to charge different prices to different groups of consumers based on their willingness to pay. This results in consumers with more elastic demand paying a lower price and purchasing more of the good or service than they would under a single price. On the other hand, consumers with inelastic demand are willing to pay a higher price and will therefore buy less of the good or service under price discrimination.
