first-degree price discrimination.

Rather than charging a single price to all customers, a firm charges a higher price to men and a lower price to women. By engaging in this practice, the firm:

A firm setting a two-part tariff with only one customer should set the entry fee equal to
consumer surplus.

For a two-part tariff imposed on two consumers, the entry fee is based on the:
consumer surplus of the customer with lower willingness-to-pay.

engages in first-degree price discrimination.
A pricing strategy that requires consumers pay an up-front fee plus an additional fee for each unit of product purchased is a
