5. Exercise 4.5 Roger is a regular consumer of personalized greeting cards with Hofmann photographs. Its demand curve is given by q = 31 -0.5P. Rogelio is a representative consumer of this type of cards so we can assume that the rest of the customers, 1,000 in total, have the same demand curve. The supplier company, Hofmann, can produce each card at a constant average and marginal cost of €2. In the market of personalized greeting cards there are many other companies that offer very similar cards. Consider the following 4 scenarios: (i) Hofmann acts as a perfect competitor. ii) Hofmann acts as a monopolist. iii) Hofmann acts as a first-degree discriminator monopolist iv) Hofmann acts as a second-degree discriminator monopolist and offers each of its customers the possibility to buy the first 15 cards at a unit price of € 32, the next 5 (from € 16 to 20) at a unit price of € 22 and the following 10 (from € 21 to 30) at a unit price of €2. Calculate, for the 4 scenarios proposed, the…
how much should the store charge for each rental if it engages in optimal two-part pricing?
Billy Bob's is catering to Baruch College and there are two types of customers: faculty and students. There are 40 faculty members willing to pay $30 per meal while there are 660 students willing to pay $5 per meal. There are 700 meals available at the catering event. Suppose the total cost of catering the event, including the meals, is $2,000. How much profit will Billy Bob's earn if they can perfectly price discriminate? $1,300 $3,500 $4,500 $2,500

The following table shows the daily demand schedule for round-trip train commutes between Dallas and Los Angeles for travelers: Demand Schedule of Business Travelers Price QD $1,100 310 $810 510 $510 810 $310 1,100 Suppose a train line's marginal cost per seat for the round-trip is $300. For profit-maximization, how much should the train-line charge per round-trip? Show your process using the half-way rule of Marginal Revenue for a monopoly.

Both the screenshots are the same question. It would not fit in one screenshot so I took two.
Compute the optimal prices and profits for each of the following scenarios:(a) the goods are sold separately(b) pure bundling(c) mixed bundling. Which strategy would be most profitable? Explain why.
A profit-maximizing ten-pin bowing club segments its market by practicing third-degree price discrimination. It charges juniors $4 per game based on their price elasticity of demand of –2.0. Its adult customers have a price elasticity of demand of –1.4. The marginal cost per game does not vary by the customer’s age. What price does the ten-pin bowling club charge adult customers?
Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p= 5-(1/2)q where p is price in dollars per hour and q is hours per month. The firm faces a constant marginal cost of $1. If the firm will charge a monthly access fee plus a per hour rate, the monthly access fee will equal $16 $5 O $8 $1 O
2nd degree price discrimination is efficient because the monopolist manages to successfully separate the different types of consumers. True or False?
Exercise 3.1 A publisher must take a decision on the pricing of a new book based on the following demand estimates: Price 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Number of copies demanded 0 100 000 200 000 300 000 400 000 500 000 600 000 700 000 800 000 900 000 1 000 000 According to his contract, the writer gets two million euros for writing the book and the marginal cost of publishing the book is constant at €10 per book. a) Calculate the total income, total cost and profit corresponding to each amount. How many books would a profit-maximizing publisher print? What price would she charge? (b) Calculate the marginal revenue. What is the difference between marginal revenue and price? Explain your answer. c) Draw the curves of marginal revenue, marginal cost and demand. For what output level does the marginal revenue curve cut the marginal cost curves? What does that mean?
