23. Airlines that engage in price discrimination charge higher prices to business travelers because their _____ is more _____ than that of other travelers. demand; elastic supply; inelastic supply; elastic demand; inelastic

Respuesta :

Answer:

demand; inelastic

Explanation:

Price discrimination is when a seller charges different prices for the same product in different markets. Price discrimination is usually practised by monopolists. The aim of price discrimination is to eliminate consumer surplus.

A seller would usually charge a higher price to a consumer whose demand is price inelastic. This means that the quantity demanded is less sensitive to changes in price.

If the seller charges a higher price to a consumer whose demand is price elastic, the consumer would reduce the quantity demanded as a result of the rise in price and the total revenue of the seller would fall.
