- Oscar has owned a Ford automobile dealership for over 25 years. Since he has been heavily involved in the sales of cars, Oscar believes that there are 3 different types of customers with the following willingness to pays: Sunroof Navigation System Customer A $3,000 $1,200 Customer B $1,800 $600 Customer C $150 $1,800 Although not realistic, assume that incremental costs are $0. As the owner of the dealerships, Oscar has the final say on pricing for each customer. Suppose that Oscar knows the willingness to pay of Customer A, B and C as soon as he meets them. What price should Oscar charge to each customer to maximize profits? What is the total amount of profits for the 3 customers and what is the total amount of consumer surplus for the 3 customers?
