Rich Uncle Pennybags is the only seller of board games in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The inverse demand curve for board games is given by: P= 40–0.5q where q is in hundreds of games per month. Rich Uncle Pennybags' marginal cost of producing board games is: MC =7+0.1q . Suppose Uncle Pennybags is a magnificent salesman, able to discern perfectly his customers' willingness to pay. If he leverages this information to begin perfectly price discriminating, how many board games will he sell?

Suppose Bang Bang is the only local swimming pool. She believes that there are 10 potential customers. Each of them has an identical demand function of QI = 250 – 0.02P, with QI as the unit of services of each customer. She operates with a constant variable cost of $500 per unit of service. If Bang Bang can practice a two-part tariff with a membership arrangement, suggest the optimal pricing strategy. Show your calculations
Imagine that the flat-screen TV market is made up of one large firm that leads the industry and sets its own price first, and another firm that follows the leader when deciding its own profit-maximizing strategy. The leader has a cost function of cL (qL) = 5q1, and the follower has a cost function of cp(qr) = where Q = qL + qF. Total market demand for flat-screen TVs is given by the function Q = 950.00 – 2p. Calculate the following values: Leading firm's production: qL = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Follower firm's production: qF = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Equilibrium price: p= S (Round to two decimals if necessary.)
You are the manager of a monopolist that produces women shoes and faces a random marginal cost. The demand for women shoes is O = 1000 - 0.1P Marginal cost can be constant at either $60 with a probability of 50% or $40 with a probability of probability of 50%. Draw a graph and plot the demand for shoes. Derive the marginal revenue curve and plot it on the graph. Find the price and output that maximize profits. Find the firm's profits.

Suppose a local supermarket runs a discount campaign on the sales of shampoos using discount coupons – any customer who shows a discount coupon will be offered an 20% discount on the original retail price. Discuss TWO practical limitations for the supermarket to conduct coupon discount.
Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania, charges a lump-sum fee, L, to enter its Crystal Pool. It also charges p per trip down a slide on the pool's water slides. Suppose that 450 teenagers visit the park, each of whom has a demand function of q₁ = 6-p, and that 300 seniors also vist, each of whom has a demand function of q₂ = 5-p. Knoebels's objective is to set L and p so as to maximize its profit given that it has no (non-sunk) cost and must charge both groups the same prices. What are the optimal L and p? The optimal L and p are L=$and p=$. (Enter numeric responses using real numbers rounded to three decimal places.)
Suppose you are the marketing manager for Fruit of the Loom. An individual's inverse demand for Fruit of the Loom women's underwear is estimated to be P = 25 − 3Q (in cents). If the cost to Fruit of the Loom to produce an item of women's underwear is C(Q) = 1 + 4Q (in cents), compute the profit Fruit of the Loom will earn by charging the optimal block price. a. $108.50 b. $0.73 c. $1.37 d. $136.50
If the inverse demand function is P=10-Q and total cost is C=2Q, what is the optimal fixed cost to be charged in a two part pricing ?

The widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $26, $14, $10, $5, and $3 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.
As a manager of a chain of movie theaters that are monopolies in their respective markets, you have noticed much higher demand on weekends than during the week. You therefore conducted a study that has revealed two different demand curves at your movie theaters. On weekends, the inverse demand function is P= 35 -0.002Q, on weekdays, it is P= 28- 0.002 Q. You acquire legal rights from movie producers to show their films at a cost of $30,000 per movie, plus a $3.00 "royalty" for each moviegoer entering your theaters (the average moviegoer in your market watches a movie only once). What type of pricing strategy should you consider in this case? First degree price discrimination Third degree price discrimination O Block pricing O Second degree price discrimination What price should you charge on weekends? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. $ What price should you charge on weekdays? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to two decimal places. $
