The first one if that of young farmers while the second one consists of retirees. Your experience in this market tells you that the young population in you r town is less concerned with price than the retired population. Even better, you know that the price elasticity of demand for the young population is -2 and that retirees have an own price elasticity of demand of -4. Is there any way that you can use this information to your advantage? Will you price drugs differently for these two different groups?
