- 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? What about the policing costs associated with separating the markets?6 In 1916, Henry Ford was quoted as saying the following: "There are men who will pay $360 for a car who would not pay $440. We had in round numbers 500,000 buyers of cars on the $440 basis, and I figure that on the $360 basis we can increase sales to possibly 800,000 cars for the year - less profit on each car, but more cars, more employment of labor, and in the end we get all the total profit we ought to make." If Ford's estimate as correct, what was the price elasticity of demand for his cars? By how much did total revenue increase?According to PfizerLipitorMonopoly: it will benefit O Benefit managers and consumers O Pfizer only O Pfizer and consumers O Pfizer and benefit managers.

- Suppose a science museum charges $15 for admission, and each day 200 adults visit the museum. Suppose the museum directors cannot change the price they charge, but they know that for every $1000 a day spent on advertising they can increase demand by 50 tickets. The cost of operating the museum for a day is $2,000. Which of the following advertising choices should they make to maximize profits? O Spend $100O0 a day on advertising O Spend $2000 a day on advertising O Spend no money on advertising O Spend $3000 a day on advertisingJYour business has the capacity to produce up to 5 units/week. The table & graph below show average cost (AC) for different weekly production levels. Your objective is to maximize profit each week. Average Cost 22 20 AC 18 1 20 14 2 15 12 3 12 10 1 2 4 4 13 Quantity 15 Your product sells in the market for $21/unit, and you can sell as many units at that price as you can bring to market. You know from your economics training that deciding how much to produce should rely on marginal concepts like marginal cost (MC). So, based on the AC table above, create a table that shows the MC of each unit. (Assume that there are no fixed costs, so total costs are zero if Q=0.) Based on MC for each unit, determine the profit-maximizing quantity to produce and sell. BRIEFLY explain your answer. (Your answer needs to be based on MC and being able to sell each unit for $21.)

- HOW STARBUCKS USES PRICING STRATEGY FOR PROFIT MAXIMIZATION In January 2020, Starbucks raised their beverage prices by an average of 1% across the U.S, a move that represented the company’s first significant price increase in 18 months. I failed to notice because the price change didn’t affect grande or venti (medium and large) brewed coffees and I don’t mess with smaller sizes, but anyone who purchases tall size (small) brews saw as much as a 10 cent increase. The company’s third quarter revenue rose 25% to $417.8 million from $333.1 million a year earlier, and green coffee prices have plummeted, so what gives? Starbucks claims the price increase is due to rising labor and non-coffee commodity costs, but with the significantly lower coffee costs already improving their profit margins, it seems unlikely this justification is the true reason for the hike in prices. In addition, the price hike was applied to less than a third of their beverages and only targets certain…Pls help with below homework. Fred owns his own specialty burger food truck.

I'm thinking that since 85 (or 56.7%) of the 150 people who clicked through to our website are age 40 or less, we should focus our ads to only younger people. I'm not great with number though, and since I know you had a stats class in college, I wanted to get your opinion. Should we focus our adds only to those age 40 and under or should we do something else?
