Which of the following statements is an accurate interpretation of the graph? This firm engages in perfect price discrimination; 150 of its customers are willing to pay exactly $13, and 150 are willing to pay exactly $10. This firm price-discriminates by selling its product for $13 to the 150 consumers willing to pay at least $13, and selling it for $10 to the 150 consumers willing to pay between $10 and $13. This firm engages in price discrimination by negotiating on price with each of its customers. This firm price-discriminates by selling its product for $13 to the 150 consumers willing to pay at least $13, and selling it for $10 to the 300 consumers willing to pay between $10 and $13. This firm engages in perfect price discrimination; 150 of its customers are willing to pay exactly $13, and 300 are willing to pay exactly $10.

You are the manager of a monopoly. Your analytics department estimates that a typical consumer's inverse demand function for your firm's product is P= 400 -20Q, and your cost function is CQ) = 120Q a. Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. Per-unit fee: $ 120 Fixed fee: $ b. How much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per-unit price?
Professional football teams earn substantial revenues through ticket sales. (Note: each team is the only seller for the tickets). To maximize profit, they offer significantly lower ticket prices for children (whose demand is elastic) than those for adults (whose demand is inelastic). This discount may be as much as 50 percent. If this type of price discrimination increases revenue and profit, why don’t teams also price discriminate at the concession stands by offering half-price soft drinks and peanuts to children? Critically discuss.

a) A Dutch Brewing company produces Heineken beer, assume further that the marginal cost of producing a six pack of Heineken Beer is $6. Dutch Brewing company sells Heineken in two different Markets namely Africa and Europe whose inverse demand functions are ?? = 24 − ??and ?? = 12 − 0.5?? respectively.Requireda) Calculate the profit maximising Price-Quantity combinations in these two markets Africa and Europe.b) With this Pricing strategy calculate the profit. c) If competitive output (P=MC=6) for Africa is 18 and Europe is 12, Compute the deadweight losses in the two markets. d) Clearly illustrates that the third degree price discrimination is welfare improving over a single price policy. e) Suppose these markets were no longer separated. How would you construct the market demand in this situation? Would the monopolist’s profit-maximizing single price still be 15?

Suppose the European Union (EU) was investigated and proposed a merger between two of the largest distillers of premium Scotch liquor. Based on some economists' definition of the relevant market, the two firms proposing to merge enjoyed a combined market share of about two-thirds, while another firm essentially controlled the remaining share of the market. Additionally, suppose that the (wholesale) market elasticity of demand for Scotch liquor is -1.9 and that it costs $16.90 to produce and distribute each liter of Scotch Based only on these data, provide quantitative estimates of the likely pre- and postmerger prices in the wholesale market for premium Scotch liquor.

Group A consumers have a lower price elasticity than Group B consumers. B. Group B consumers have a greater price elasticity than Group A consumers. C.

Based on some economists’ definition of the relevant market, the two firms proposing to merge enjoyed a combined market share of about two-thirds, while another firm essentially controlled the remaining share of the market. Additionally, suppose that the (wholesale) market elasticity of demand for Scotch liquor is −1.4 and that it costs $14.80 to produce and distribute each liter of Scotch.Based only on these data, provide quantitative estimates of the likely pre- and postmerger prices in the wholesale market for premium Scotch liquor.Instructions: Do not round intermediate calculations.

9. International price discrimination Giocattolo is an Italian firm, and it is the only seller of toy cars in Italy and Spain. Suppose that when the price of toy cars increases, Spanish children more readily replace them with toy motorbikes than Italian children. Thus, the demand for toy cars in Spain is more elastic than in Italy. The following graphs show the demand curves for toy cars in Italy (D₁) and Spain (Ds) and marginal revenue curves in Italy (MR₁) and Spain (MRs). Giocattolo's marginal cost of production (MC), depicted as the grey horizontal line in both graphs, is $12, and the resale of toy cars from Spain to Italy is prohibited. Assume there are no fixed costs in production, so marginal cost equals average total cost (ATC).

Consider a market with a monopoly firm. Sales revenue of this firm is $10,340,000$⁢10,340,000, total cost is $4,400,000$⁢4,400,000, and average cost is $2.00$⁢2.00. Another firm wants to enter the market and provide the same product at a lower price. To intimidate the potential competitor, the monopoly firm intends to use predatory pricing.By how much can this firm reduce the price of its product without losses? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
