company sells two goods (1 and 2) to two consumers (A and B). The consumers have reservation prices for the two goods given in the table below. Each consumer will purchase one unit of a good as long as its price is less than or equal to the consumer's reservation price for that good. The marginal cost of producing each good is $35 per unit. Good 1 Good 2 Consumer A Consumer B $80 $60 $40 $70 If the company plans to sell the goods separately, it should charge a price of $ 60 for good 1 and 570 for good 2. (Enter your responses as integers) If the company wants to use pure bundling by packaging the goods together and selling them only as a bundle, it should charge $ 120 for the bundle containing one unit of good 1 and one unit of good 2. (Enter your response as an integer) If the company wants to practice mixed bunding, it should charge a price of $80) for good 1, a price above $40 for good 2, and a price of $ 100 for the bundle containing one unit of each good (Enter your responses as integers)

Suppose a retail seller of jeans currently has 40 customers. The retailer offers the following quantity discount to these 40 customers. Buy the 1* pair of jeans at a price of $100, buy a 2d pair of jeans at a price of $80, buy a 3d pair of jeans at a price of $60, and buy a 4th pair of jeans at a price of $40. Suppose the cost to the retailer for each pair of jeans is $40. Suppose of these 40 customers, all buy the 1ª pair of jeans, 30 of these 40 buy a 2nd pair of jeans, 20 of these 30 (i.e., those who bought a 2nd pair) buy a 3d pair, and 10 of the 20 (i.e., those who bought a 3rd pair) buy a 4t pair. The profit to the retailer from selling jeans to these 40 customers in this way equals: [10] A. $4000 В. С. $4600 $6200 D. None of the above [11] In the case of first degree price discrimination, each consumer is charged his/her reservation price. А. True В. False
6. Exercise 4.6 An econometrician hired to analyse a local golf course has determined that there are two types of golfers, the regular and the occasional. The annual demand for games from regular players is given by QH = 24 - 0.3P, where P is the price of a round of golf. On the other hand, the annual demand for occasional items is given by Q° = 10 - 0.1P. The marginal cost and the average total cost per item are equal to €20. a) If you could distinguish between regular and casual players, what price would be set for each type? How many games would each type of player play? How much profit could the golf course generate? Represent graphically. b) As an alternative to the discrimination of third degree prices, those in charge consider a double tranche rate according to which the members can play as many games as they wish at a price of € 20 per game. How much profit will the golf course generate if it charges all players the same annual fee for becoming a member of the club? What if you…
A firm has two types of customer. High-value customers have utility 3 ln(1 + x) − p if they buy xunits of the good for the price p. Low-value customers have utility 2 ln(1 + x)−p if they buy x unitsof the good for the price p. There are 10 customers of each type. The firm has the marginal costc < 1 for producing each unit of x. If customers do not buy anything they get zero utility. Help with question a) below please
Assume you have your car broken down just before the weekend. You value your weekend trip as muchas v and if you have to stay home you get the zero utility. There are two dealerships in your town. Atthe beginning of the day they simultaneously choose a price for repair. Dealers know that when you cometo one of them and observe the price, you can always call to another dealer to make an inquiry about hisprice. The call is costless. The other dealer, however, can be occupied for this day. Assume, this happenswith probability which is a common knowledge (but the dealers do not know whether the other dealer isoccupied or not). Assume zero repair cost for the dealer and find a symmetric equilibrium of the game.

Mililani business owner Selina runs a small hair salon and does laundry on a regular basis to clean uniforms, hair cloths, client robes, and other washables. Selina is running low on detergent and saw the same-sized boxes of Arm & Hammer laundry detergent on sale at two different stores. Sale price of detergent Regular price of detergent Store Store 1 Store 2 $9.98, limit 4, with additional boxes at regular price Buy two get one free, limit 1 free box, with additional boxes at regular price If Selina only has time to go to one of these stores and needs 3 boxes, whose advice is correct? Select the cost of 3 boxes of Arm & Hammer Laundry detergent at Select $15.99 Selina's friend Kimo said that Store 2 would be cheaper and noted that Store 1's regular price is cheaper than Store 2's regular price. Selina's other friend Lani said that it would be cheaper to go to Store 1, pointing out that Store 2's sale price is still higher than Store 1. Would the situation change if Selina needs 5…

A salesperson introduces a mobile-data plan to Michael, which allows him to pay HK$200 per month and enjoy 20G of data usage. Michael said he is happy with the plan and is willing to subscribe to it. Note that Michael will use more than 20G of data when it is free-of-charge.Explain the above Michael's decision by using a graph/graphs based on the concept of marginal utility/happiness, consumer surplus and marginal cost.
Your own a chocolate producing company which can advertise on both television (T) and internet(I). The effect of TV and online commercials on sales is again given byS(T,I) = 500 + 48T−6T2+ 112I−6I2+ 4TI. You have a budget of $25 that you can spend on T and I. The price of aTV commercial is $12per unit and the price of an online commercial is also $12 per unit. 1. Determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you have to spend all of your budget. You should provide two methods to solve this, by direct substitution and by setting up the Lagrangian. Is the Lagrange multiplier positive or negative? Give an intuitive interpretation of why this is the case? 2. Now determine the optimal level of TV commercials T and online commercials I if you DO NOT have to spend all of your budget. Do you obtain the same answer as subquestion 5.1? What is the Lagrange multiplier equal to in this case? Discuss.
Goods x and y are perfect substitutes. When the market price of good x is $5/unit, firm F produces 500 units of x. When the price of y rises, 100 consumers of y shift to the consumption of good x. This causes industry analysts to believe that firm f has increased quantity supplied of x by 100 units to meet the higher demand for it. To arrive at this conclusion, the industry analysts are assuming that a. Good x is the only substitute of y available to them. b. Each person will now buy more of x than they did prior to the increase in the price of y. c. Good y is an inferior good. d. The law of supply does not hold for good y. e. The new buyers of good x will, on average, consume one unit each. It’s apparently not b.
