suppose that a small-town theater has six potential customers and is looking to implement price discrimination depending on when customers want to attend. suppose the marginal cost of serving an additional customer is $1.50. the data provide information about the time of attendance and willingness to pay for a ticket.

Respuesta :

Based on the information that can be gotten from the question, the price that should be charged by the theater for the matinee ticket will be $7.

From the complete information, when the price is $4 and the 3 customers enjoy the movie, the profit will be:

= ($4 - $1.5) × 3

= $2.5 × 3

= $7.5

Now, let's assume that the price charged is $7 and 2 customers enjoy the movie, the profit will be:

= ($7 - $1.5) × 2

= $5.5 × 2

= $12

Now, when the price is $12 and only 1 customer enjoyed the movie, the profit will be:

= ($12 - $1.5) × 1

= $10.5

It can be depicted that the profit of the theater will be at maximum when the price that is charged is $7.
