- 8. Examples of price discrimination Brian and Eleanor are debating the use of coupons by grocery stores. Brian says, "The use of coupons in grocery stores represents a means of price discrimination. It's pure and simple. Coupons do reduce the price of groceries, but mostly to people who are less likely to buy at the full price." By contrast, Eleanor contends, "Coupons do not constitute price discrimination. They simply represent a way of temporarily changing the prices of some grocery items. Coupons reduce the price for everyone, not just for those who are price sensitive." Economists generally agree witharrow_forward6. Hongxing has developed a popular self-hypnosis course. She sells the course two ways: through a well advertised company website for a price of $150 and at an e- Bay storefront for $100. Her cost of producing and selling the courses depends only on the total number of courses she sells. Using one or more diagrams, explain Hongxing's pricing strategy. Be sure to cover (a) how Hongxing will decide the price and quantity to sell through each store, (b) what conditions must be met for Hongxing's pricing strategy to work, and (c) whether it is reasonable to assume these conditions are met in this example.arrow_forwardAlex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania.

The gains and loss from selling one more unit Sean's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean produced seven fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Sean faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Sean must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that although Sean gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardSally runs a vegetable stand.

BP said it would cut prices by around 2p at many of its sites, and would continue to respond to local competition.A spokesman for the AA said: “Asda’s price drop marks the start of a new price war. Others will have no choice but to follow.”Asda’s Commercial director David Miles said: “There is no justification for any major retailer selling fuel above £1 per litre – that is why we are delighted to be able to reduce both petrol…arrow_forward
