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."

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_forwardSally runs a vegetable stand The following table shows two points on the demand curve for the heirloom tomatoes she sells Price Quantity demanded per week $4.00 100,000 200,000 $2.75 Sally's marginal revenue from lowering the price of tomatoes from $4.00 to $2. 75 is S (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places) Lowering the price trom $4 00 to $2 75 results in an output effect of $and a price effect of S (Enter your responses as whole numbers and include a minus sign i necessary)arrow_forward
