Which of the following is not an example of price discrimination by the only movie theater in town?
malfutka [58]

Answer: Charging one price at all times for all customers (D)

This can be seen on cinemas as people are charged different prices and airline companies. In the question above, charging a lower price for children, matinees and people over 65years are price discrimination. For price discrimination not to exist, everyone must pay the same price for enjoying similar good or service.
