Suppose a museum charges different entrance fees for children, students, adults, and seniors, but these groups all pay the same amount for souvenirs at the gift shop. Which of the following explains why the museum price discriminates on admission but not souvenirs? O The museum has not yet realized the potential gain from price discrimination on souvenirs. O The entrance ticket is individual, while souvenirs are transferable. O There is much greater variance in cost among souvenirs than entrance tickets. O The museum collects much more revenue on entrance tickets than on Couvenirs

You are a monopolist making a durable good, the widget. Some of your customers have started to sell their used widgets to others. Assume the used and new widgets are perfect substitutes, but with 2 used equivalent to one new widget. a.) what effect would an increase in cost for new widgets have on the price of new and used widgets? b.) You consider trying to get the used widgets market made illegal. If this were done perfectly, how would it affect your monopoly's price and profits? show this graphically and in words

As the new general manager of the Grand Palladium Jamaica luxury all-inclusive resort, youare assessing your pricing policies. Currently, the price of a weekend stay is $2,000 perguest. You estimate the marginal cost of serving a guest at $1,600, and while yourpredecessor unfortunately did not leave you data from the pricing experiments and testmarketing she performed, you do know that such experiments were done, and that yourpredecessor was competent.a. What is your best estimate of the elasticity of demand for a weekend stay at the GrandPalladium?b. Your learned that at the current price, the resort is only 80% full on the weekends.Remembering the sense of belonging that you experienced in a crowded subway duringthe rush hour, you contemplate lowering the price so the resort is completely full. What isyour back-of-the-envelope calculation for how much you need to lower the price?c. After some thought you cooled to the idea of full occupancy. Instead, you focused yourenergy and…
3. MUSEUM MONOPOLY MATH Once the museum has incurred the basic operating cost of 60 to open for the day, the average variable cost (and marginal cost) of serving each visitor is only 2. In other words, the museum's total daily operating cost function is DOC[Q] = 60 + 2Q, where Q is the number of visitors. Meanwhile, the inverse demand function for museum admission is P[Q] = 34 - Q. TIP: We used "average daily operating cost" instead of average total cost when discussing museums. a) If this museum were a commercial, profit-maximizing enterprise, then find its profit. TIP: You'll need to find Q* and P*. Even though you could answer this with a well-drawn graph, show that you can "do the math” to find the correct answer. TIP: This may sound familiar. What did you learn about drawing this graph? ☺ b) Suppose the museum manager set the price at 28, which is not the profit-maximizing price. Find its profit. For the remainder of the problem, suppose that the museum is instead a nonprofit…

Is this an example of first-degree, second-degree, or third degree price discrimination? • Describe the conditions that allow the firm to price discriminate in your example. • How does this practice affect the firm and its consumers?
