In: Economics
Suppose an ocean-front hotel rents rooms. In the winter, demand is:
P1 = 110 - 1Q1
with marginal revenue of:
MR1 = 110 - 2Q1
However, in the summer, demand is:
P2 = 260 - 1Q2
with marginal revenue of::
MR2 = 260 - 2Q2
Furthermore, suppose the hotel's marginal cost of providing rooms is MC= 5 + 1Q which is increasing in Q due to capacity constraints.
Suppose the hotel engages in peak-load pricing. During the winter, the profit-maximizing price is $_______ and theprofit-maxizing quantity is _______ rooms.
During the summer, the profit-maximizing price is $______ and the profit-maximizing quantity is _______.
The marginal cost of production is higher during the _______ (Summer/Winter) during which time the hotel charges a _______ ( Higher/ Lower) price.
