Question
14. A rock-climbing school faces two demand curves. The demand by local residents is Q- 400 - 0.5P, and the demand by others is Q- 500 -0.5P. The marginal cost of serving either local or nonlocal residents is constant at $100. If the rock-climbing school cannot practice third-degree price discrimination and must charge a single price to all customers, it will charge: a. $400 b. $375 c. $800 d. $500 15. The outcomes of this game is A, B A U9,10 6,8 A D12,3 8,13 14,9 a. (9,10) b. (14,9) C. (6, 8) d. (12, 3)Explanation / Answer
(14) (d)
Demand function for locals: QL = 400 - 0.5PL
Demand function for others: QO = 500 - 0.5PO
If a single price is charged, PL = PO = P and aggregate demand: Q = QL + QO
Q = 400 - 0.5P + 500 - 0.5P
Q = 900 - P
P = 900 - Q
Profit is maximized when Marginal revenue (MR) = MC
Total revenue (TR) = P x Q = 900Q - Q2
MR = dTR / dQ = 900 - 2Q
Equating with MC,
900 - 2Q = 100
2Q = 800
Q = 400
P = 900 - 400 = $500
