The Star Theater is the only movie theater in Hollywood, SC, and therefore it has price-setting power. The Star Theater has two distinct types of customers: (i) senior citizens and (ii) non-senior citizens. The demand curve among senior citizens is: Y1 where Y1 1 100 10p1, for p1 ≤ 10, is the number of seats demanded by senior citizens at a senior citizen ticket price of p1. 140 - 10p2, for The demand curve among non-senior citizens is: Y2 P214, where y2 is the number of seats demanded by non-senior citizens at a non-senior citizen ticket price of p2. The Star Theater's cost function is C(y1 y2) = C(y1 + y2) = F + (y1 + y2), where F is the fixed cost of operating the theater and y₁ and 2 are (as already defined) the number of senior citizen and non-senior citizen customers, respectively. By how much does the Star Theater increase profits if it operates as a third- degree price discriminator instead of as a single-price monopolist? © $0 $10 $20 $30
