On the following graph, use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the profit-maximizing quantity sold and the lowest price at which the firm sells its boots. Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to shade the profit, the green points (triangle symbol) to shade the consumer surplus, and the black points (plus symbol) to shade the deadweight loss in this market with perfect price discrimination.

Professional football teams earn substantial revenues through ticket sales. (Note: each team is the only seller for the tickets).

If this type of price discrimination increases revenue and profit, why don’t teams also price discriminate at the concession stands by offering half-price soft drinks and peanuts to children? Critically discuss.
