There is only one pumpkin patch in town, and it is considering implementing a two-part tariff pricing scheme. The marginal cost of each pumpkin is MC = 2, and there are no fixed costs. Each person that visits the pumpkin patch has the following inverse demand for pumpkins: P = 10 - Q. Use this information to answer the following two questions. 11. How much profit (per customer) would the pumpkin patch earn if it must charge a single price for pumpkins with no admissions fee? a. $12 b. $16 c. $24 d. $25 e. $32 12. If the pumpkin patch adopts a two-part pricing scheme, how much should they charge per pumpkin (P) and how much should they charge for admission to maximize profits? a. P= $2; Admission = $32 b. P= $6; Admission = $16 c. P = $5; Admission = $20 d. P= $2; Admission = $16 e. P= $6; Admission = $24

Question 5: Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium. He decides to rent a telescope for $50 a week and charge his friends and classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a monopolist for renting out "peeps". For each person who takes a 30 second peep, it costs Jimmy $.20 to clean the eyepiece. Jimmy believes he has the following demand for his service: Price of a Peep $1.20 Quantity of peeps demanded 1.00 90 100 150 200 250 300 70 60 50 350 40 30 400 450 20 10 500 550 a) For each price, calculate the total revenue from selling peeps and themarginal revenue per peep. Price Quantity TR MR $1.20 100 90 100 150 200 70 250 60 300 350 50 40 30 400 450 20 500 10 550 b) At what quantity will Jimmy's profit be maximized? What price will he charge? What will his total profit be? c) Jimmy's landlady complains about all the visitors coming into the building and tells Jimmy to stop selling peeps. Jimmy discovers, though, if he…
Alex Potter owns the only well in a town that produces clean drinking water. He faces the following demand P=100-Q, and marginal cost MC=20+2Q, marginal revenue MR= 100-2Q curves. In order to maximize profits, Alex should charge a price of $60 at the profit maximizing quantity with a marginal revenue equal to $60. $60 at the profit maximizing quantity with a marginal revenue equal to $80. $80 at the profit maximizing quantity with a marginal revenue equal to $80. $80 at the profit maximizing quantity with a marginal revenue equal to $60.

The following graph shows the dally demand curve for blkes in Denver. Use the green rectangle (trlangle symbols) to compute total revenue at various prices along the demand curve. Note: You will not be graded on any changes made to this graph. 120 110 100 Total Revenue 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 Demand 16 24 32 40 48 56 64 72 80 88 QUANTITY (Bikes) On the following graph, use the green point (triangle symbol) to piot the annual total revenue when the market price is $20, $30, $40, $50, $60, $70, and $80 per bike. 2770 2580 Tetal Revenue 2390 2200 W 2010 3 1920 1630 1440 1250 1060 30 40 50 50 70 80 90 100 110 120 PRICE (Dollars per bike) 10 20 According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between polnts A and B is approximately- Suppose the price of bikes Is currently $20 per blke, shown as point B on the Initlal graph. Because the demand between polnts A and B is v a $10-per-bike Increase in price will lead to v In total revenue per day. In general, In order for a…
