Step 2

1)

Market Power is the degree to which a firm can influence the price of an item by exercising control over its demand, supply, or both. Pricing strategies are aimed at finding a product’s optimum price, considering the various factors like market objectives, consumer demand, product attributes, price of competitors and market and economic trends.

Firms with market power use different price strategies to maintain their power against the competition. The two pricing strategies that I would implement as the firm manager are :

a) Discrimination Pricing: This is the practice of charging different prices to different customers for the identical goods or services sold by the same supplier. In this price discrimination, a firm aims at extracting the maximum consumer surplus for its goods or services in order to earn higher revenues and profits.

b) Block Pricing: This is a pricing strategy in which identical products are packaged together in order to enhance profits by making the customers to make an all-or-none decision to purchase
