Consider a monopolist that is able to distinguish between two distinct market segments, A and B, for its product. Marginal cost is constant at $18 for each unit produced. The firm is currently selling its output at a single price and allocating its output across segments such that marginal revenue in segment A is $25 and marginal revenue in segment B is $15. Is this firm maximizing its profit?
◦ Yes, because since marginal cost is constant, the firm must set a single price.
◦ Yes, because it has set a price such that MC is between the MRs of the two market segments.
◦ No, because it is only possible to equate MR and MC when there is a single MR curve.
◦ No, this firm can increase its profits by price discriminating across the two market segments.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
