A downtown bar serves a drink that UCSB students love. The profit-maximizing owner knows that any given student has a demand for drink given by p= 14 -q and a non-student has demand p = 6- q. Because the bar can't identify whether a customer is a student, she decides to sell drinks in packages. She offers a large package of 12 drinks and a small package of 4 drinks, and each student is only allowed to buy one package. Resales are strictly prohibited. The bar's marginal cost is 2. If both packages are offered and priced optimally, what is the minimum surplus students must get from the large package in order to not want to buy the small package? O a. 64 O b. 32 O C. 26 od. 80

- A firm faces two types of consumers. Consumer A has an inverse demand of P = 120-10 Q and consumer B has an inverse demand of P = 60-2Q. The firm has a constant marginal cost of $20. Assume the firm does not know which type a given consumer is. She offers to sell the good at a price of 70$ per unit. However, if the customer buys 10 or more units, she will offer a quantity discount and charge only 40$ per unit (including the first 10). Which consumer will use the price discount? Question 7 options: Neither costumer will purchase from this firm at all. Customer A will choose the quantity discount and customer B will not choose the quantity discount. Both consumers will chose the quantity discount. Neither of the two consumers will opt for the quantity discount. Instead, both will purchase at the higher price of 70 and buy less than 10 units each. Customer B will choose the quantity…A firm faces two types of consumers.

The marginal cost is given by MC=20. Under two-part pricing strategy, what is the optimal amount of green fee to charge for one round of 18-hole golf game?

- As a manager of a chain of movie theaters that are monopolies in their respective markets, you have noticed much higher demand on weekends than during the week. You therefore conducted a study that revealed two different demand curves at your movie theaters. On weekends the inverse demand function is PWeekend 15-0.001 QWeekend _ and on weekdays the inverse demand function is PWeekday 10 0.001 * QWeekday where Q is the number of movie goers and P is the price of a movie.

Why do you think consumers respond to the "Buy One Get One Half Off" sales promotion and what principle of economics does this behavior reflect?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.

The table below reports each consumer’s willingness-to-pay (WTP) for hamburgers, French fries, and the bundle of both items. The average cost of each good is also reported. A) What prices should the restaurant set for each food item if it sells the items separately? What is its profit in this scenario? B) What prices should the restaurant set if it sells the bundle “meal” of a hamburger and French fries? C) How do your answers change if the restaurant’s cost of beef increases so that the average cost of hamburgers increases to $4?
