A monopolist is selling sneakers to students
and non-students. The Marginal Cost of an
extra pair of sneakers is $6. Student demand
is given by Q=132-P and Non-student
demand is given by Q=400-2P. Right now
they act like a single-price monopolist for the
entire market.
If they decide to do group price-
discrimination (assume they can) what will be
the CHANGE in prices for students? Don't
forget to include the negative sign if the price
for student falls with group price-
discrimination.
