Tobias · Answer 2

quantity discount

Explanation:

Quantity discounts are generally offered by wholesalers or distributors to customers that purchase goods in bulk, or in large quantities. Generally the larger the quantity that you purchase, the higher the discount. This type of policy applies to virtually every good sold, from candies to cars, e. g. when cars are sold in fleets (a fancier term for bulk of cars), they are usually sold with a steep discount and only a limited amount of models are included.

In this case, Morgan offers his products with different discounts depending on the number of units (quantity) purchased.
