- Suppose a retail seller of jeans currently has 40 customers. The retailer offers the following quantity discount to these 40 customers. Buy the 1* pair of jeans at a price of $100, buy a 2d pair of jeans at a price of $80, buy a 3d pair of jeans at a price of $60, and buy a 4th pair of jeans at a price of $40. Suppose the cost to the retailer for each pair of jeans is $40. Suppose of these 40 customers, all buy the 1ª pair of jeans, 30 of these 40 buy a 2nd pair of jeans, 20 of these 30 (i.e., those who bought a 2nd pair) buy a 3d pair, and 10 of the 20 (i.e., those who bought a 3rd pair) buy a 4t pair. The profit to the retailer from selling jeans to these 40 customers in this way equals: [10] A. $4000 В. С. $4600 $6200 D.

- Joe has moved to a small town with only one golf course. His demand curve is P = 120 – 2Q where Q is the number of rounds of golf he plays per year. The manager of the golf course offers Joe a special deal, where Joe pays an annual membership fee and can play as many rounds of golf as he wants to at $20 per round. The golf course’s Marginal Cost is $20. - If the golf course wishes to implement a two-part pricing model, what membership fee will maximize revenue for the golf course? Please show your calculations. - How many rounds of golf will Joe play per year (calculate the value of Q*)? Please explain. - Would someone who just occasionally plays golf (perhaps 1 or 2 rounds once every 2 months) prefer two-part pricing as given above, or would they prefer to pay a price of $100 per round without any membership fee? Please explain.Leah and Shota can purchase an airplane ticket, a car rental, or both items. Leah has value x for the plane and 6 for the car, while Shota has value 20 for the plane and 2 for the car. A travel website can sell the products individually, sell the products in a bundle, or sell a combination of individual items and a bundle. Leah Shota Plane Car 6 2 X 20 For each of the following pricing strategies, calculate the possible values of r (i.e. z 30 or 3 ≤ x ≤7) which make this pricing strategy optimal, or explain why it is never optimal. You can restrict your answer to integer values of x. 1. Sell the bundle to Leah and sell nothing to Shota. 2. Sell a plane ticket to both Leah and Shota, and also sell a car rental to Leah. 3. Sell a car rental to Shota and a plane ticket to Leah. 4. Sell a car rental to Leah and the bundle to Shota.6. You estimate that a typical consumer's inverse demand function is P = 200- 20Q and your cost function is C = 80Q. Determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. How much will 4 consumers pay?
