Answer:
Option (b) is correct.

There are three types of price discrimination:
(i) First degree price discrimination or Perfect price discrimination
(ii) Second degree price discrimination
(iii) Third degree price discrimination

Consumer surplus = Actual price paid by the consumer - Willingness to pay for the product
Answer:
In this situation, most of the NASA workforce would still be composed of austronauts with jet fighter experience because they would be lured by the higher wages offered to them.
However, the difference would lie in that there would also be some austronauts without jet figther experience, who would still try to get into NASA, despite being offered lower wages.
This is a different situation to the current one, where jet fighter experience is an requirement to become a NASA austronaut, which means that those without this type of experience are barred from entering NASA, no matter how low of a wage they would be willing to take.
Answer: Selling exports abroad at a lower price than the domestic price.
Explanation:
Dumping is a practice in international trade where the country exporting, does so at a price that is lower than the domestic price of the good being exported in the importing country.
This allows the country exporting to gain more market share but can also lead to the collapse of the domestic industry thereby allowing for an export based monopoly to form.
An example would be Japan selling electronics in the U.S. at lower rates to capture market share even though those same electronics commanded a higher price in Japan.
