Price discrimination is indistinguishable
price discrimination allows companies to defend
An advantage to price discrimination to producers is that firms will be able to increase sales. A disadvantage to consumers is that it can cause things to cost more.
If you were the recepient of the increased prices.

Price and cost transparency, Price discrimination (market segment)
price discrimination allows companies to defend
Price discrimination is when the identical fast food item is sold for a different price depending on which store you purchase from. Typically, the level of price discrimination is higher from state to state and about the same for stores located in the same city.
Which would be evidence of price discrimination at a local bar called the Stabilizer

Answer: Price discrimination is the practice of one retailer, wholesaler, or manufacturer charging different prices for the same items to different customer. This is a widespread practice that does not necessarily imply negative discrimination. Early forms of price discrimination certainly existed in Jim Crow law states, where a black consumer might very likely pay more for the same quantity and items than a white consumer would. In general, this type of price discrimination is very rare today. Price discrimination, as it is now understood, is separated into degrees. First, second and third degree price discrimination exist and apply to different pricing methods used by companies. Much depends on the understanding of the market in segments, and also the consumer's ability to pay a higher or lower price, called elasticity of demand. A person who might pay more for an item is thought to have a low elasticity of demand. Another person who will not pay as much has a high elasticity of demand.
Price discrimination exists when the same product is sold at different prices to different buyers. The cost of production is either same, or it differs but not as much as the difference in the charged prices. The necessary conditions, which must be fulfilled for the implementation of price discrimination are the following:The maket must be divided into sub-markets with different price elasticities.There must be effective separation of the sub-markets, so that no reselling can take place from a low-price market to a high-price market.
An advantage to price discrimination to producers is that firms will be able to increase sales. A disadvantage to consumers is that it can cause things to cost more.

>The idea of price discrimination is to transfer the consumers profit to producers>Firstly there should not be any close substitutes available, because then people might use them instead. So price discrimination can occur in monopoly >Secondly the producer must keep the market separate, so that no resale of the product is possible>Thirdly two markets with different elasticity of demand. Price discrimination is successful when costs do not rise when selling on different markets
