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?

- Market Power and Monopoly - End of Chapter Problem Green Machine is the only greenhouse in isolated Point Barrow, Alaska, and therefore has a monopoly on the sale of fresh flowers. The manager estimates that the elasticity of demand for flowers is -0.5. Green Machine cannot be maximizing profits because O it is operating in the inelastic portion of its demand curve, so it can increase price and still gain more revenue while lowering cost. This will increase profits. according to the Lerner index an elasticity of demand of -0.5 means Green Machine's markup is 50% higher than what it should be, so it needs to decrease price and increase sales. elasticity of demand is negative; therefore, Green Machine's total costs are higher than its total revenue, and profits are not being maximized. O its marginal revenue must be greater than its marginal cost when elasticity of demand is between 0 and -1, so profits are not being maximized and it must expand production to increase sales and lower…arrow_forward8. A fundamental criticism of the traditional theory of the firm is that the decision makers in the firm may not even aim to maximise profits in the first place.

Shareholders are not the decision makers and have different interests from them. D. Managers prefer to maximise profits because this is usually in their own interest. E. Shareholders are really utility maximisers.arrow_forward3. Consider a monopoly that sells a product to consumers with a constant marginal cost of $13. There are two potential consumers. As a prior belief, each consumer thinks that the product is worth either $29 or $19 with equal probability, and he/she learns the true value of the product after trying it out. Each consumer may have a different perception of the value of the product, and these perceptions are independent events. The product is non-durable. Suppose there are two periods, and each consumer demands at most one unit of the product in cach period. After the first period, a company named InfoteX could conduct an online marketing survey to learn consumers' perceptions of the product. By purchasing the survey from InfoteX, the monopolist knows whether a consumer is happy with the product (i.., he/she thinks the product is worth $29 instead of $19 after trying out) or not, and can offer personalized prices to customers in the second period. Then the monopolist should charge $_ first…arrow_forward
