Which would be the optimal price to maximize revenue for the Room and Theme Park, without considering the possibility of bundling?
Room: $200
Theme Park: $150
Room: $300
Theme Park: $150
Room: $200
Theme Park: $200
Room: $300
Theme Park: $200
1. Room: $200
Theme Park: $150
Let's assume the total number of people be 100 so a 10% share is 10 people and 20% share in 20 people and so on. With option 1, at ($200,$150) Everyone except Disney devotees will pay for room and Only Disney devotees and amusement park lovers will pay the $150 for a theme park.
Market share tapped at $200 room = 20 + 10 + 20 = 50%
Revenue = 200 * 50 = 10,000
Market tapped at $150 theme park = 50 + 20 = 70
Revenue = 150 * 70 = 10,500
Total = 20,500
Only Luxury lovers and conference devotees will pay $300 for a room
Market share tapped at $300 room = 10 + 20 = 30%
Revenue = 300 * 30 = 9,000
Revenue form $150 theme park = 10,500
Total = 19,500
Revenue from $200 room = 10,000
Only Disney devotees will pay $200 for a theme park
Market tapped = 50%
Revenue = 200 * 50 = 10,000
Total = 20,000
Revenue from $300 room = 9000
Revenue from $200 room = 10,000
Total = 19,000
All revenues:
1. 20,500
2.19,500
3.20,000
4.19,000
Option one with $200 room and $150 theme park will bring maximum revenue
