Each buyer buys exactly one unit, but buyers vary in terms of their preferences for quality. There are two types of buyers: high-type with utility functions UH (q, t) = 2/q-p and low-type with utility function U (q, t) = vq – p. Let the probability of drawing a high-type buyer is 0.2. The cost of production for quality level q is just q (i.e., c(q) = q). The monopolist attempts to maximize his revenue by offering a menu of contracts {(qL, PL), (qH, PH)}. Find the optimal screening contract for the monopolist. %3Darrow_forward
