You go to CostCo or Walmart and you see paper towel sold in a bundle and you wonder how the retailer can make any money. You do a little research and you find that the demand for paper towels is depicted by the following demand curve and marginal cost: P=$2.20 (1/10)*Q MR-$2.20 (2/10)*Q MC 0.20 where P is the price of paper towels, MC is the marginal cost of paper towels, MR is the marginal revenue of paper towels and Q is the quantity of paper towels. So you decide to try two different pricing strategies: 1) sell one roll at a time and 2) use multipart pricing to sell a bundle. Given the results for the pricing strategies in problems 1 and 2, what is your pricing decision and why?arrow_forward
