I learned from experience when I was doing community hours at the Kiwanis Thrift Store a few years back. Even though the Kiwanis’s store and staff were small, the staff have to do tremendous daily work. People donate their no longer used items to the store like furniture, clothes, appliances, kitchenware etc. These donations are classified as raw materials considering it’s the only way that it can gain its inventory. Although these donations are the only way that the store gains its inventory, doesn’t mean it’s the only input the store offers.

While glass is fully recyclable, plastic is not something we endlessly reuse. The triangle arrow that is on our plastic bottles is actually telling us the type of plastic it is made out of.

In the case of hotels, suppliers create different consumer segments, we can relate to them as lower-end consumers, and higher-end consumers. Obviously, hotels cannot set the price that higher-end consumers are willing to pay, because all lower-end consumers will not be able to afford the good. Inversely, if hotels set the price that lower-end consumers are willing to pay, higher-end consumers gain huge consumer surplus, thus lowering the profit for the suppliers. In order to take the consumer surplus, hotels keep lower prices for some rooms in order to target lower-end consumers and offer some higher quality rooms (for example presidential suits) to target higher-end consumers. The difference in revenues providing different rooms and the same ones is seen below.
