Question 4: IBM faces two types of buyers for the printers they produce. High-valuation consumers (e..g. businesses) have a higher willingness to pay for quality (here printing speed as ppm) compared to low-valuation customers (e.g. households). We have that the total valuation for the high-valuation customers is TBH(q) = 509 – 192, where q is the printing speed (ppm) and the total valuation for the low-valuation customers is TB:(q) = 509 – 2. A printer of any quality q up 1 to q = 50 costs $250 to produce, independent of the actual speed, but producing a printer faster than q = 50 is impossible.a. Suppose that IBM can perfectly discriminate between the two groups of consumers. What quality is offered to each group? What is the maximum price that IBM can charge each group for the corresponding printer? b. Suppose that IBM cannot tell the two types of customers apart and must rely on consumer self-selection. Assuming that IBM chooses to offer two products of the qualities you derived in…
Suppose you run a marketing survey and find you have two types of customers high-value customers willing to pay 16 and low-va consumers willing to pay just 10. Your survey tells you that there are equal numbers of high- and low- value customers. Obviously , have two possible options price high (16) and sell only to the high value group, or price low (10) and sell to everyoneThe costs incurred is 5 per unit and sales only happen to high -value consumers 50 % of the timeWhich price should you choose ? Select the correct response price high price low it depends price both high and low
Suppose that you own a used car dealership. You want to sell a 2005 Honda Civic LX. You know that this car is of high quality, and it cost you $5000 to acquire it (so you will not sell it at a price below $5000). However, consumers cannot see the quality of the car at the time of purchase. They believe that 25% of the cars in the used car market are high-quality cars and 75% are low-quality cars or “lemons.” A typical lemon costs $2000 to acquire (so you will not sell it at a price below $2000). Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car. From now on, suppose that only you (the seller) know the quality of the cars. (Buyers do not know the quality, but know the proportion of high- and low-quality cars in the market). Suppose that you could offer bumper-to-bumper warranties. You know that offering a warranty on a high-quality car costs, on average, $450 per year of warranty offered, while a warranty on a lemon is very…

Consumers are eager to buy and are willing to pay up to $3000 for a lemon and $6000 for a high-quality car. (a) Suppose for a moment that buyers could observe the quality of your car at the time of purchase. At what price would you be able to sell the 2005 Honda Civic Accord LX? If you had a lemon instead, what price would it sell at? (Suppose as a dealer you can induce buyers to pay at their highest willingness to pay. Keep this assumption in all of the following questions.) From now on,…

Externalities Mark owns a butchery. His marginal cost of selling meat is MC = 0.35Q, where Q is the pounds of meat he sells. Mark is in a competitive market and can sell all the meat he wishes for $7 per pound. However, the smell from the butchery bothers the customers of George, the owner of the coffee shop next door. Assume that every pound of meat costs George $1.4 worth of lost business. If Mark focuses on maximizing his profit, how much would he sell? At the profit-maximizing quantity from part a, does selling the last pound of meat benefit the society. Calculate the social marginal cost and compare it to the marginal benefit. Note that here “society” refers to Mark and George. What is the socially optimal quantity of meat sold?
John is planning to travel to a country where there is some risk of contracting yellow fever. The direct market price for the medication that prevents yellow fever is $125. It would take him 2 hours to visit his doctor and get the prescription filled. The opportunity cost of his time is $25/hour. If he contracts yellow fever we assume that he will be sick and not able to work full days for two weeks. Under these conditions, let's assume he can work half days and has no vacation or sick time to use. His company will not pay him when he is sick and not working. His out of pocket expenses for medication, doctors’ visits, and lab tests to treat the yellow fever will be $500. His normal salary is $1,000 per week. John believes that his chance of getting yellow fever without preventative medicine is about 20%. His chance of getting yellow fever with the medication is 0%. There is no pain and suffering to be considered in this problem. What is the maximum price that John would pay…

64. (This problem assumes knowledge of the basic rulesof baseball.) George Lindsey (1959) looked at boxscores of more than 1000 baseball games and foundthe expected number of runs scored in an inning foreach on-base and out situation to be as listed in the fileP09_64.xlsx. For example, if a team has a man on firstbase with one out, it scores 0.5 run on average untilthe end of the inning. You can assume throughout thisproblem that the team batting wants to maximize theexpected number of runs scored in the inning.a. Use this data to explain why, in most cases,bunting with a man on first base and no outs isa bad decision. In what situation might buntingwith a man on first base and no outs be a gooddecision?b. Assume there is a man on first base with one out.What probability of stealing second makes an attempted steal a good idea?
