Step 1
p=150-qL , p=200-qH , MC =0
The type L is 70% of consumers
Complete revenue (TRL) = 150qL-qL2
Complete revenue (TRH ) = 200qH -
qH2
Marginal Revenue (MRL) = 150 - 2qL
Marginal Revenue (MRH) = 200 - 2qH
Step 2
For a monopolist:
1. MRL
=MC 2.
MRH =MC
150 - 2qL =0 200 - 2qL =0
2qL = 150 - 2qL = - 200
qL = 150/2 qL = - 200/-2
qL =75 qL = 100
pL = 150-qL pL =
200-qL
pL = 150 - 75 pL = 200-100
pL = 75 pL = 100
Step 3
Optimal price if only one price can be set by the firm: ,
pL = 75
As it is a cheaper price and all buyers are going to purchase the
stuff.
Step 4
A fee for buying any amount will be set by the company:
70% of customers are in low demand,
qL = 0.7X75 , qL = 52.5 units
Price will be:
PL = 150 - 52.5 = $97.5
30% of customers in high demand are
qH = 0.3X100 , qH = 30 units
The price is going to be:
PH = 200 - 30 = $170
Thus, due to the demand from the customer, the business can charge
rates.It is safer than a single pricing approach so the business
will gain greater revenues by charging buyers with high demand at a
higher price.
