Price Discrimination Quiz

Phlips International makes widgets, and nothing but widgets. Each widget is produced the exact same way, rolls off the assembly line and is packaged exactly the same way.

Yet Phlips is practicing price discrimination when they sell this widget to customers. How can this be?
