Distinguish between a price-discriminating monopoly and a single-price monopoly

What will be an ideal response?


A single-price monopoly charges every consumer the same price for each unit of the good or service the consumer buys. A price-discriminating monopolist might charge different consumers different prices for the same good or service or charge the same consumer different prices for different units of the good or service. When a firm practices price discrimination, it sells different units of a good or service for different prices.
