Answer to Question 1

To practice price discrimination, the following three conditions must hold:
1 . Monopoly Power. Price discrimination is possible only with monopoly or where members of a small group of firms follow identical pricing policies.
2 . Market Segregation. Price discrimination can only occur if the demand curves for markets, groups, or individuals are different.
3 . No Resale. For price discrimination to work, the person buying the product at a discount must have difficulty in reselling the product to customers being charged more.
