ASAP PLZ Suppose a monopolist knows it has two types of customers. The inverse demand for the customers in the first market is P = 50 – Q while the inverse demand for the customers in the second market is P = 40 – 2Q. The marginal cost is €10 in both markets. Suppose the firm wishes to charge a two-part tariff to its customers but it cannot distinguish between the customers in the first and second markets. Calculate the entry (fixed) fee that the firm should charge in these circumstances

Suppose an airline sells air tickets to two types of customer – business travelersand vacation travelers. Their estimated demand elasticities are -2.5 and -4.0respectively.Suppose the marginal cost is constant at $240, and the services provided to thetwo types of customer are similar. Calculate the fares the airline should charge on the air tickets sold to therespective types of customers. Show your calculations.

Problem 3 uppose an airline has monopoly over a certain route. The estimated price elasticity of demand for business travelers is E-12, while the price elasticity of demand for leisure travelers is Ey-24. The airline wants to set the prices separately for business and vacation travelers. Economy Firat Class Only i the marginal cost of transporting each passenger is the same, und the airline is able to separate the two groups perfoctly, what is the optimal surcharge (in ) on business travelers? Oor example. fleiture travelers pay 100, and business ravelers pay 200, then the surcharge is 100%) Anvwer b) Suppose that in order to separste business travelen, the airline must offer them slightly better conditions on board (for enample, serve them a meal). As a resul, the marginal cost of flying a basiness traveler is 30% higher than for a leivare traveler. What is the optimal surcharge (in ) on business fravelers in this case?
