Disney has long charged the same price for the two parks, currently $400 per day for a four-person family. However with fewer tourists and more local visitors over the past year, Disney is considering park-specific pricing along with a “weekender” bundle. Disney media have different appeal to boys and girls, which affects demand for theme parks. Disney estimates demand for three family types: Boy (B), Girl (G) and Mixed (M). Each family buys at most one ticket of each type, and there are 1 million families of each type each month. Maximum willingness to pay for each park for each family is shown in the table below. Assume the marginal cost per family per park is $150. Family Type Disneyland (DL) CA Adventure (CA) Bundle G $700 $200 $900 M $300 $300 $600 B $200 $500 $700 Cost = $150 per family per park a.

- 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?
