We show that the monotone structures of dynamic pricing for a single perishable product under risk-neutrality are preserved under risk-sensitivity with the additive general utility and atemporal exponential utility functions. We also show that the optimal price is decreasing over the degree of risk-sensitivity under the exponential class of both additive and atemporal utility functions.
