- Economics In a bygone day, airlines issued discount tickets to students who would be willing to fly on a particular day,with no notice, at a discounted price, one needed to show proof of being of student. The students would have to fly "standby", if and only if there was an available seat, only on that day. Students were able to obtain these tickets, make fictitious reservations, cancel the reservations at the last minute, and secure a seat on the flight at a discounted price. Answer the following questions. a Is this a form of price discrimination? Why? Include in your analysis differing levels of elasticity, if relevant, and any other feature b. Why would an airline use this practice? Provide a dollar and cents example. The airlines caught up with this scheme and ended it. What principal of price discrimination did the students violate so as to end it?arrow_forwardSuppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $10 or $12. For simplicity, assume that: these are the only two possible prices; there are no costs (e.g., there is no cost for obtaining and serving the beer), and each customer drinks exactly one pint of beer. There are two types of customers: professors and students. Professors are not price-sensitive and go to the bar closest to their department’s building. Thus, 50 professors from the Melbourne School of Engineering go to Prince Alfred, while 50 professors from the Melbourne Graduate School of Education go to the Last Jar. Meanwhile, the students, who are 200 in total, are price sensitive. They go to the bar with the lowest price –or, if both bars charge the same price, then they split evenly. Simultaneous game: Suppose that the two bars must choose what price to set simultaneously. a) Write the normal form of the game. b) What is the Nash Equilibrium (NE) of this game?arrow_forwardSuppose two bars, “the Last Jar” and “Prince Alfred”, can choose to sell a pint of beer for either $10 or $12.

- how is the price of Fertilizer determined? we know that the price of a good is formed from the interaction of supply and demand. Producers will not sell a good below the cost of production. Demand changes the price due to competition; more demand drives the price up, less demand brings the price down. when you discuss how the price is determined: Taxes: is the good taxed? (e.g. cigarettes have a high tax) Costs of production: (resources, labor, etc.) Transportation Competition: is the good in high demand? Give a summary of the factors that go into the price of the good.arrow_forwardMaking a new protective helmet costs $200. Proper disposal, where all the toxic stuff is correctly handled and processed, costs $800. However, there is an underground trade in improper disposal of helmets, and the going price for this is $500. A. Into what range must the subsidy for proper disposal fall in order to provide sufficient incentive for proper disposal but not so much that economists start buying the helmets just to dispose of them and collect the subsidy, which they would totally do?arrow_forwardLet us take a car market where we know(but the buyers don`t) that 40 percent of the cars are bad cars(lemons), the reservation price for demanders is 12 (thousand) for good cars and 10 (thousand) for bad cars, while the reservation price for the car suppliers is 10 thousand for a good car, and 8 thousand if it is a bad car. a-Discuss what the situation would be like if everybody could observe if a car is a good car, or a bad car(lemon)- how would the market reach equilibrium? b-Discuss what the situation would be like if only sellers knew the true character of the car( good or bad) whereas the buyers only know the average car quality? c-Why would the second situation create a partial unraveling of the market?

If CC’s tickets are a normal good, could a fan end up attending fewer games a year because of the ticket book offer?

He has analyzed the market carefully, and he knows that at a price of Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million) he will sell 8 houses per year. In addition, he knows that at any price above Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million), no one will buy his houses because the government provides equal-quality houses to anyone who wants one at Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million). He also knows that for every Rs.2,000,000. (Rs.2 million), he lower his price, he will be able to sell an additional 2 units. For example, at a price of Rs.10,000,000. (Rs.10 million), he can sell 10 houses; at a price of Rs.8,000,000. (Rs.8 million), he can sell 12 houses; and so on. Sketch the demand curve that Mr. Kamrans’ firm faces. Sketch the effective marginal revenue curve that his firm faces. If the marginal cost of building a house is Rs.10,000,000. (Rs.10 million), how many will he build and what price will he charge? What if MC = Rs.8,500,000. (Rs.8.5 million)?arrow_forward
