The data are not suitable to make statements about indirect price discrimination and profits The prices $54 (weekday) and $49 (weekend) represent indirect price discrimination. There is no indirect price discrimination in rows 2-7 of the table. Without data and analysis outside of the data in this table, one cannot prove that $54 and $49 are the optimal indirect price discrimination prices. According to the table, if it is not allowed to use indirect price discrimination, Universal's maximum profits are achieved when it charges a price of $53.
