Answer to Question 1

A monopolist can practice price discrimination when different buyers have different valuations of the product. When willingness to pay for a product varies across customers, a monopolist can discriminate profitably. The monopolist must also devise a way to separate its customers into groups with different demand elasticities, and must be able to prevent low-price customers from reselling to high-price ones.
