A monopoly will not be able to perfectly price discriminate if
A each consumer does not reveal her reservation price
B demand is very elastic
C the firm's marginal cost curve is upward sloping
D All of the above
Homework Answers
The correct answer is 'Option D'.
A monopolist price discriminates in order to earn higher profits by selling the same product at different prices to different consumers. A monopoly will not be able to perfectly price discriminate if the reservation price of each consumer is not known or the demand is very elastic that no individual is ready to pay a huge amount for the good or the marginal costs are not constant throughout. So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'.
