7. Price discrimination and welfare Suppose Clomper's is a monopolist that manufactures and sells Stompers, an extremely trendy shoe brand with no close substitutes. The following graph shows the market demand and marginal revenue (MR) curves Clomper's faces, as well as its marginal cost (MC), which is constant at $40 per pair of Stompers. For simplicity, assume that fixed costs are equal to zero; this, combined with the fact that Clomper's marginal cost is constant, means that its marginal cost curve is also equal to the average total cost (ATC) curve. First, suppose that Clomper's cannot price discriminate. That is, it must charge each consumer the same price for Stompers regardless of the consumer's willingness and ability to pay. On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to shade the profit, the green points (triangle symbol) to shade the consumer surplus, and the…
Following information shows that a firm offering a good at different prices to groups of consumers with different levels of willingness to pay. Inverse Demand for movies: P1 = 20 – 4Q1 Inverse Demand for students: P2 = 10 – Q2 MC = 4Q LKR /ticket (a) What price and quantity and maximizes profits if the firm charges each market? (b) Demonstrate that charging different prices for the two groups results in higher profits than charging the same price for everyone. (c) Graph the demand curves, the marginal revenue curves, the marginal cost curve and highlight the equilibrium.
Use the following roundtable summary on price discrimination from the DOJ and FTC – Roundtable on Price Discrimination - to answer the following questions. a.) What conditions must be met in order for price discrimination to be feasible? What are the factors that determine the competitive implications of price discrimination? b.) Summarize the difference between price discrimination used for “exploitative” purposes vs. “exclusionary” purposes. Explain which – and why – one form is legal but the other is not? c.) Do you think there should be greater government regulations or oversight of firms’ ability to engage in price discrimination? Explain.
Lesson 5.10 - Price Discrimination is a price structure in which the seller charges different prices for the product it sells and the price differences do not reflect cost differences. 2. There are three types of price discrimination. price discrimination is a price structure in which the seller charges the highest price that each consumer is willing to pay for the product rather than go without it. price discrimination is a price structure in which the seller charges a uniform price per unit for one specific quantity, a lower price for an additional quantity, and so price discrimination is a price structure in which the seller charges different prices in different markets or charges different prices to various segments of the buying population. 3. Before a seller can price discriminate, certain conditions must be in place: on. a. The seller must be a price b. The seller must be able to 1. c. The possibility for higher price, cannot exist. prices. among customers who are willing to pay…
Q32 Let's assume we are referring to the Canadian market for Random Access Memory (RAM) storage. If the price of RAM increases: Multiple Choice total revenue for RAM producers will decrease if demand for RAM is price inelastic. the consumer surplus for Canadian consumer will decrease. consumers will buy more because RAM is an inferior good. the consumer surplus of Canadian will increase. total revenue for RAM producers will increase if demand for RAM is price elastic.
Suppose you can separate consumers into two groups: Group 1 has a price elasticity of demand = -3 and group 2 has a price elasticity of demand of -9. If you could conduct third-degree price discrimination, which group would you charge a higher price to? Why? What would be the relative price of group 1 to group 2? Suppose that the profit-maximizing price for group 2 is $12. What price should I charge group 1? Show all your work.
Individuals differ in their willingness to pay for air travel, and airlines would like to charge different prices to different individuals based on their willingness to pay. Airlines typically attempt to divide passengers into two types: leisure travelers and business travelers. Suppose that an airline is charging $400 per ticket for all passengers on flights between New York and Washington D.C. The accompanying tables provide information on quantity demanded for air travel for leisure travelers and business travelers. Price(per ticket) Quantity‑leisure travelers(tickets per flight) $400 100 $500 50 Price(per ticket) Quantity‑business travelers(tickets per flight) $400 100 $500 90 a. What is the absolute value of price elasticity for leisure travelers if the airline increases the price to $500? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. b.What is the change in total revenue for leisure travelers when the price increases to $500? c. What is the absolute value of…

At 10 million hours, what areas make up the total economic surplus in this market?
Each rectangle on the graph corresponds to a particular seller in this market: blue (circe symbols) for Andrew, green (triangle symbols) for Beth, purple (diamond symbols) for Darnell, tan (dash symbols) for Eleanor, and orange (square symbols) for Jacques. (Note: The name labels are to the right of the corresponding segment on the supply curve.) Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing producer surplus for each person who is willing to sell a motor scooter at a market price of $70. (Note: If a person will not sell a motor scooter at the market price, indicate this by leaving their rectangle in its original position on the palette.) ?
