IX. Прочтите и письменно переведите текст. Price Discrimination

The market price for a product is like a signpost for companies. Nevertheless, companies can set their prices if they want. They can even choose to ignore the market price completely. Companies have lots of pricing tricks which help to increase profits. One of these tricks is price discrimination.

Price discrimination means charging a different price for the same product to different customers. There are different types, or degrees, of price discrimination.

First degree price discrimination is when almost every consumer pays a different price for the same product. How can this happen? It is not usually practical in the real market place. But an auction, for example, works in this way. In an auction, each consumer makes a bid for the product, and the highest bid wins.

Second degree price discrimination involves changing price according to how much of the product is sold. This kind of discrimination is important for retailers. It allows shopkeepers to buy goods in bulk from wholesalers at lower prices and sell them on to ordinary customers at a higher price.

Third degree price discrimination is when certain types of customer are charged different prices. For example, pensioners and students often get discounts on public transport or for arts events as they cannot afford the normal market price. By offering discounts companies widen their market share but still make a profit.
