More students prefer to take 10 a..m. classes than 8 a.m. classes, meaning that the demand for seats in 10 a.m. classes at the university is higher than the demand for seats in 8 a.m. classes. The supply of seats is fixed. If the university can only charge one price, regardless the time, but wishes to maximize the total number of seats purchased during the day, it should set the price a. at equilibrium for 8 a.m. classes. b. at...
