Are Alex and Anna demands negatively or positively correlated? Explain. b. Compare all four possible single-item pricing policies to find the profit-maximizing single-item pricing policy. Solve for profit if the restaurant engages in pure bundling. Assume the restaurant engages in mixed bundling and charges $3 for a bundle, $2.52 for chicken nuggets and $1.50 for fries. Show that the profit obtained under mixed bundling will be higher than under the pure bundling or single-item pricing.arrow_forward

Is the laundry practicing price discrimination, or is there really a $2.25 difference in cost? b. Assuming the laundry is engaging in price discrimination, why do men pay the lower price and women the higher? c. Could the laundry continue to separate markets if people followed Abby’s advice? What about the policing costs associated with separating the markets?arrow_forward
