The airline is described as a monopolist and has the possibility of discriminating between its Business and Economy Travelers. To help you determine the prices your services appropriately to maximise profit, you engaged an economist who estimated the demand function for both Economy and Business Travelers as: Q1 = 24 – 0.2P1 Economy Travelers Q2 = 10 – 0.05P2 Business Travelers Where Q1 and Q2 are the respective numbers of Economy and Business Travelers and P1 and P2 are their respective fares (in GH¢). If the Total Cost (TC) of this airline company for flying these two categories of travellers is given as TC = 35 + 40Q, where Q = Q1 + Q2. What can you say about the fares, number of travellers and profit of Ghana Airways Company Limited, with and without price discriminationUpon graduating from UT this May, you take on a management position working at UtMax theater. You will consider the utility of seeing performance over 1 month, and suppose that at a regular price of $$$ per ticket (my assigned ticket price is 145), customers will see no performance, however with the price reduced by $5, customers will see one performance per month and when reduced by $10, customers will see two performances. As long as the number performances, x, is small, your demand function for performance can be modeled by p=D(x). Write down your demand function.
