Name a price-segmentation fence and describe one that could be used to effectively charge one price to Segment A and a different price to Segment B. Explain how this fence can be effective in accomplishing price segmentation in this situation.

p=140-2q,
where q is the number of rounds of golf that he plays per year. The manager of the Northlands Club negotiates
separately with each person who joins the club and can therefore charge individual prices. This manager has a good.

Each of these groups has a different willingness to pay for tickets; within each group, willingness to pay is identical. There is a fixed cost of $1,000 to put on a concert, but there are essentially no variable costs. For each concert: • . There are 150 students willing to pay $20. There are 220 staff members willing to pay $35. There are 100 faculty members willing to pay $50. a. If the performing arts center can charge only one price, what price should it charge? b. What are profits at this price? c. If the performing arts center can price-discriminate and charge two prices, one for students and another for faculty/staff, what are its profits? d.
