Question

A monopolist sells to tourists who have demand p1 = 14 – q1 at a price of $8.00. Residents have demand p2 = 10 – q2. The firm implements an OPD pricing plan. What price should the monopolist charge to the residents?

Answer 1

Price charge to the residents = $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

p1 = 14 – q1 at a price of $8.00

p2 = 10 – q2

Find:

Price charge to the residents

Computation:

p1 = 14 – q1 at a price of $8

8 = 14 – q1

q1 = 6

In OPD q1 = q2

So,

p2 = 10 – q2

p2 = 10 – 6

p2 = $4

Price charge to the residents = $4
