CareRight Medical Company has invented and received a patent for a new drug to treat a rare and fatal disease. It charges $5,000 for a year’s supply of the drug. Critics claim that this amount is excessive, as it does not cost that much to produce. They believe the company is taking advantage of sick people. CareRight responds that they are losing money on this drug. The critics are right: It does not cost CareRight $5,000 to produce a year’s supply for one person. However, CareRight’s statement is also correct in that they are losing money on the drug. How can both statements be true? Consider the different types of costs in your answer.
HP has developed a new, high-end, high-resolution printer, which can print 40 pages per minute. Its market research identified two target segments of customers: 3,500 large businesses and 6,500 university labs. A large business has a valuation of $900 for the new printer, whereas a university lab has a valuation of $630. HP’s variable cost for the printer is $450/unit; all fixed costs are sunk. Assume that each customer needs at most one new HP printer (i.e., no customer will buy multiple units). (a) Suppose that HP cannot price discriminate the two segments of customers, i.e., it can charge only one price for its printer. What is HP’s optimal price for the new printer? What is its maximum profit? (b) Suppose that HP can install an extra chip in the printer to slow down printing to 15 pages per minute. Such a chip costs HP $20 to make and install for each printer. The slower version of the printer is valued at $700 by a large business customer and $600 by a university lab. With…
