Suppose a movie theater determines it can charge different prices to patrons who go to weekday matinees and people who attend evening and weekend shows. The movie theater's goal is to increase total revenue. See Hint The price elasticity of demand for weekend and evening patrons is -0.50, and the price elasticity of demand for matinee moviegoers is -2.80. Based on the price elasticity of demand for each group of people, how should the movie theater adjust its prices? Choose one: O A. Raise the price for matinee moviegoers, and keep the price the same for weekend and evening patrons. O B. Lower the price for matinee moviegoers, and raise the price for weekend and evening patrons. O C. Lower the price for matinee moviegoers, and keep the price the same for weekend and evening patrons. O D. Raise the price for matinee moviegoers, and lower the price for weekend and evening patrons.

Question 1A manager of a nightclub realizes that demand for drinks is more elastic among students and is trying to determine the optimal pricing schedule. Specifically, he estimates the following average demand for his customer types: Under 25: q^r=18-5pOver 25: q=10-2p The two age groups visit the nightclub in equal numbers on average. Assume that drinks cost the club $2 to make. 1. If the manager cannot identify to which group his customers belong, what is the uniform monopoly price? 2. If the manager can identify to which group his customers belong, what price will he charge each group. Assume the manager can only charge a single price to each group 3. If the manager can charge a separate entry fee and a price per drink for each group, what two-part price will the manager set for reach group. 4. Now suppose that once again it is impossible to identify which group the customers belong. Suppose the manager lowers the price of drinks to equal to marginal cost and still wanted to…
