She can do this by increasingthe chickens’ feed to $3 per week and taking an hour off work each week to devote to chickenrearing.

Jane is the General Manager at a new café and wants to hire a few baristas. The going rate for baristas is $15 per hour. Jane has heard that many of the local coffee shops have high turnover with baristas “ghosting” them – simply not showing up for their shifts and never coming back. Jane starts to put together an advertisement to hire baristas for $15 per hour, but changes her mind and lists the wages she will pay at $20 per hour. Why would Jane pay $15 per hour? What’s her rationale for paying $20 (or any wage higher than $15)?

- A woman complained to “Dear Abby” that a laundry charged $1.25 each to launder and press her husband’s shirts, but for her shirts—the same description, only smaller—the laundry charged $3.50. When asked why, the owner said, “Women’s blouses cost more.” Abby suggested sending all the shirts in one bundle and enclosing a note saying, “There are no blouses here—these are all shirts.” Is the laundry practicing price discrimination, or is there really a $2.25 difference in cost? Assuming the laundry is engaging in price discrimination, why do men pay the lower price and women the higher? Could the laundry continue to separate markets if people followed Abby’s advice?
