Solution

When firms price discriminate, they turn consumer surplus into revenue.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. Consumer surplus is the difference between what consumers are willing to pay for a good or service and what they actually pay.

  2. Price discrimination is a strategy that businesses use to charge different prices to different consumers for the same good or service.

  3. When firms price discriminate, they are essentially capturing some or all of the consumer surplus.

  4. This captured consumer surplus becomes additional revenue for the firm.

So, the correct answer is "consumer surplus, revenue".
