An amusement park, whose customer set is made up of two markets, adults and children, has developed demand schedules as follows:

            Qa = 20 – Pa            where a is adult market

            Qc = 30 – 2 Pc         Where c is children market

            QT = 50 – 3 PT         where T is the two markets combined

Assume that the marginal cost of each unit of quantity is $5 (constant), the owners of the park want to maximize profit:

  1. Calculate the price, quantity and profit if the amusement park charges a different price in each market.
  2. Calculate the price, quantity and profit if the amusement park charges the same price in the two markets combined.

Let us assume that there are two visitors, A and B, in an amusement park. The demand curve for the visitors facing the amusement park are as follows. PA= 5 – 2QA PB= 2.5 – 0.5QB Marginal cost (MC) to serve each visitor is equal to $1. a. If the amusement park decides to set the price using two-part tariff, given the demand curve P=6 – 2.5Q and MC =$1, how much is the equilibrium P and Q b. Calculate...

Competitive Markets: The high end bicycle market is made up of two types of firms. On the one hand, there are several small boutique builders, who specialize in making frames from exotic materials (titanium, carbon, alloy, metal matrix, etc), and then specking the bikes with high end components. Many of these firms also custom build the frame to the buyers physical dimensions, and preferred riding style. There are also some very large firms (Trek, Specialized, Giant, Cervelo) that make high...
