You are the manager of a monopoly. a typical consumer’s inverse demand function for your firm’s product is p = 250 – 40q, and your cost function is c(q) = 10q. a. determine the optimal two-part pricing strategy. per-unit fee: $10 correct fixed fee: $720 correct b. how much additional profit do you earn using a two-part pricing strategy compared with charging this consumer a per-unit price? $360 correct

a. Per unit price = $10 , Fixed price = $720

b. Profit= $360

Explanation:

a. The monopoly will charge a a per-unit fee such that it is equal to the marginal cost.

Since, total cost = 10q ,

Marginal cost will be $10

Therefore, per unit price will be $10, which equals marginal cost.

Substituting this into the demand equation we get, q= 6

This means that at $10 per unit price, the monopoly sells 6 units.

The fixed fee then should be

b. The optimal per-unit price is determined where

Solving for Q we get,

yields Q = 3 units

Substituting this back into the demand equation we get P = $130.

While, the profit from two part pricing was $720. Thus, you earn $360 more by two-part pricing.
