Understand the concept of price discounting: it refers to the practice of reducing the price of a product or service to stimulate higher consumer demand.
Recall that marginal utility measures the additional satisfaction a consumer gains from consuming one more unit of a good, which is different from pricing strategies.
Recognize that willingness to pay is the maximum amount a consumer is ready to pay for a good, not the act of lowering prices.
Identify consumer surplus as the difference between what consumers are willing to pay and what they actually pay, which is a result of pricing but not the practice of lowering prices itself.
Conclude that the term describing the practice of lowering the price to encourage more purchases is 'Price discounting'.
