A distillery makes whisky, where its profits from production per bottle are given by T = p – y? where p is the price it charges per bottle and y is the number of years the bottle is aged. There are two types of whisky drinkers, connoisseurs (H type) and casuals (L type). H-type have utility UH (y, p) = 8y – p, while L-type have utility uz (y, p) = 2y – p. There are 10 consumers of each type, and each will buy at most one bottle. Each consumer's utility if she does not buy is 0. If a consumer is indifferent between buying two bottles, assume she will buy the more aged one (the one with higher y). If a consumer is indifferent between buying a bottle and not buying, assume she will buy. Bottles are characterised by (y, p), years of age and price.
