Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of dividing a market based on consumer preferences or lifestyle choices. This involves grouping consumers who have similar characteristics or behaviors.
Recall that consumer surplus analysis measures the difference between what consumers are willing to pay and what they actually pay, which is not about dividing the market.
Recognize that price discrimination involves charging different prices to different consumers for the same product, but it does not necessarily involve dividing the market by preferences or lifestyle choices explicitly.
Identify that market segmentation is the process of dividing a market into distinct groups of buyers who have different needs, characteristics, or behaviors, which aligns with dividing the market by preferences or lifestyle choices.
Confirm that willingness to pay estimation is about determining the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay, not about dividing the market.
