- Explain how the mechanism for the application of three types of price discrimination that can be effective from a firm's point of view in order to maximize its profit. You are required to provide examples to show how this can be done.Suppose you are the owner of a movie theater. There are two types of customers: senior (‘s’) and non-senior (‘ns’). You know if a customer is a senior or non-senior and so you could use price discrimination with selection by indicators. The demand for movies is: Senior: qs = 30 − 3ps Non-Senior: qns = 15 − pns 1. Plot the total demand curve and the marginal revenue curve if the two types of consumers are as one. 2. Suppose that MC = 1 and that you can only set a single price. 2a. What is the optimal uniform price? 2b. What is the profit under uniform pricing? 2c. What is consumer surplus under uniform pricing?Q3) How is peak-load pricing a form of price discrimination? Can it make consumers better off? Give anexample.
- itle A reliable 15-year-old babysitter can be a price maker within her own neighborhood. Suppose that th Description A reliable 15-year-old babysitter can be a price maker within her own neighborhood. Suppose that this babysitter wishes to implement a Multipart Pricing Plan. Customers who use her services less than L hours per month will pay a high price of PH dollars per hour. Customers who use her services more than L hours per month will still pay PH dollars for the first L hours, but for any additional hours they can then pay the lower price PL dollars per hour which she will generously set equal to her marginal cost. Assume that market demand is QD = 60 – 10P and her total costs are C = 3Q; so PL = $3 per hour. If she set her high price at $4 per hour, would her customers accept a limit of L = 24 hours per month in order to use the remainder of her services at a price of $3 an hour? Provide a labelled diagram and briefly explain. Suppose that this talented babysitter was…using relevant examples distinguish among the three forms of price discrimination.A golf cub’s owner has commissioned a market study that estimates the average customer’s monthly demand curve for playing 18-hole golf game to be Q=50 – 0.5P, where Q stands for the number of 18-hole golf game, and P is the green fee. The marginal cost is given by MC=20. (1) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the optimal amount of green fee to charge for one round of 18-hole golf game? (2) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the optimal amount of membership due? (3) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the size of the profit obtained from the average customer?
- Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B (sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales before the 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales after the 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B.Q5) Distinguish between marginal pricing and cost-plus pricing.A golf club’s owner has commissioned a market study that estimates the average customer’s monthly demand curve for playing 18-hole golf game to be Q=50 – 0.5P, where Q stands for the number of 18-hole golf game, and P is the green fee. The marginal cost is given by MC=20. (1) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the optimal amount of green fee to charge for one round of 18-hole golf game? (2) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the optimal amount of membership due? (3) Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the size of the profit obtained from the average customer?
- Q3) How is peak-load pricing a form of price discrimination? Give anexample.What motivate an attraction to apply price discriminations? Will they succeed in applying price discrimination even though they are NOT a monopolist? Discuss your answer with a specific example of an attraction applying price discrimination in Malaysia.GameZone, a video games store, is considering the best way to price two new games – a first-person shooter (FPS) and a racing game. There are four types of consumers that might buy the games with roughly equal numbers of each type, and their willingness to pay (WTP) for each game is detailed in the table below (assume that the willingness-to-pay for a second game of the same type is zero). How should Gamezone price the two games separately to maximise revenue? How should Gamezone price a bundle of both games to maximise revenue? Is there an alternative (involving bundling) that generates more revenue than either single prices or a bundle alone? Under what condition/s is bundling likely to increase profits for a firm? Consumer Type WTP for FPS game WTP for racing game A $120 $70 B $70 $120 C $160 $10 D $10 $160
