Question 1

A monopolist who has a horizontal 
ATC schedule and perfectly price discriminates


◦ leaves buyers a decreased but still positive amount of consumer surplus.
◦ increases the amount of consumer surplus that is lost to the buyers and not gained by the monopolist.
◦ appropriates all consumer surplus as profit.
◦ does not change the amount of consumer surplus that buyers had before the monopolist perfectly price discriminated.

Question 2

Why do price discriminating firms often offer lower prices to children and elderly?


◦ They have a lower willingness to pay than other consumers.
◦ Their demand for goods and services tends to be less elastic than other consumers.
◦ Such a strategy lowers the costs of the firm.
◦ These firms are more interested in equity than profit maximizing.
