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

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? Awwer Now suppose the airline introdaces a Basi Economy fare,…

Question 4 OCP is the monopoly seller of Soma with a constant marginal cost of production of $1 a unit. There are 100 potential consumers of Soma who belong to one of two types, heavy and light. There are an equal number of each type. The inverse demand curve of heavy users is pH(q) = 9.4 – 2q while that of light users is pL(q) = 3– q. We also assume there is no trade between different types of buyers. 1. If OCP could perfectly discriminate between the two types of buyers what two-part tariff should they charge each type to maximize profit? 2. Suppose the Government were to ban such price discrimination and required OCP to set a single two-part tariff. What would the profit-maximizing two-part tariff be? OCP cannot forbid any buyer from purchasing at the announced tariff.

If the regulatory agency wants to achieve economic efficiency, what price should it require the monopoly to charge? c) To achieve economic efficiency, what quantity will the regulated monopoly produce? d) Will the regulated monopoly make a profit if it charges the price that will achieve economic efficiency? e) Suppose the government decides to regulate the monopoly by imposing a price ceiling of $35. What quantity will the monopoly produce and what price will the monopoly charge? f) With the price ceiling of $35, what profit will the monopoly earn?
Exercise A.3 Compare the competitive equilibrium with that of the first-degree price discriminating monopolist. Indicate the similarities and differences that exist in prices, quantities produced, consumer surplus and loss of efficiency between both situations.
