# Problems and Applications Q6You live in a town with 300 adults and 200 children, and you are considering putting on a play to entertain your neighbors and make some money. A play has a fixed cost of $2,000, but selling an extra ticket has zero marginal cost. Below are the demand schedules for two types of customers:### Demand Schedule Table:| Price (Dollars) | Adults (Tickets) | Children (Tickets) ||-----------------|------------------|--------------------|| 10 | 0 | 0 || 9 | 100 | 0 || 8 | 200 | 0 || 7 | 300 | 0 || 6 | 300 | 0 || 5 | 300 | 100 || 4 | 300 | 200 || 3 | 300 | 200 || 2 | 300 | 200 || 1 | 300 | 200 || 0 | 300 | 200 |### Optimization and Profit- To maximize profit, you would charge $ ___ for an adult's ticket and $ ___ for a child's ticket. Total profit in this case would be $ ___.- A law is passed by the city council prohibiting you from charging different prices to different customers. - Now you set a single price of $ ___ for all tickets, resulting in a $ ___ profit.### Welfare AnalysisIndicate whether each of the following groups is better off, worse off, or the same because of the law prohibiting price discrimination:| Group of People | Better Off | Worse Off | Unchanged ||-----------------|------------|-----------|-----------|| Adults | ○ | ○ | ○ || Children | ○ | ○ | ○ || You, the Producer | ○ | ○ | ○ |

Nile.com, the online bookseller, wants to increase its total revenue. One strategy is to offer a 10% discount on every book it sells. Nile.com knows that its customers can be divided into two distinct groups according to their likely responses to the discount. The accompanying table shows how the two groups respond to the discount. Group A Group B(sales per week) (sales per week) Volume of sales beforethe 10% discount 1.55 million 1.50 million Volume of sales afterthe 10% discount 1.65 million 1.70 million A. Using the midpoint method, calculate the price elasticities of demand for group A and group B. B. Explain how the discount will affect total revenue from each group. C. Suppose Nile.com knows which group each customer belongs to when he or she logs on and can choose whether or not to offer the 10% discount. If Nile.com wants to increase its total revenue, should discounts be offered to group A or to group B, to neither group, or to both groups?
Suppose that you are the marketing manager of Citruscity, the only producer of grapefruits in the imaginary economy of Blockburg. As a monopolist, Citruscity's objective is to maximize its profit, so it is up to you devise a way to increase profits through price discrimination. As a former economics student, you know that many firms successfully practice price discrimination by separating their market into two identifiable types of consumers-what economists call third-degree price discrimination. Examples of this include student discounts, senior citizen discounts, and ladies' night discounts. After doing some research, you conclude that the demand for grapefruits varies greatly between consumers who clip coupons and those who do not. The following graphs show the overall dailly demand and marginal revenue (MR) for a pound of grapefruits for each group of consumers and the marginal cost (MC) for producing a pound of grapefruits. Assume that fixed costs are equal to zero. Note: You will…
