which of the ff constitute price descrimination?

Question

a.) a department store has a 25 percent off the price sale?
b.) a publisher sells economics textbooks at a lower price in North Carolina than in New york?.
c.) the japanese sell cars at higher prices in the united states than in japan?.
d.) The telephone company charges higher long-distance rates during the day?.

Answer 1

b, c, and d all represent price discrimination, which is charging two different prices to different sectors of the populace. Since each of these examples indicate that the producer is selling to different consumers at different prices, this is price discrimination. a is not price discrimination since it is my belief that all customers of the department store receive the 25 percent off, and not just certain ones.

Answer 2

B constitutes price discrimination. The publisher makes the school system in New York pay more for the same textbook he sells in North Carolina. This discriminates against the NY students. We must assume that the publisher chooses to charge the New Yorkers more because he feels they can pay more -- not because of increased shipping charges or some other factor beyond his control. The Japanese charge higher prices in the US due to tariffs imposed by the US government. This is beyond the control of the Japanese and in order to keep their profit margins the same as in Japan they must charge more.
