Suppose High-Tech Software sells two products-a word-processing package and a spreadsheet package. Suppose that the business community values the word-processing package at $100 per unit and the spreadsheet package at $250 per unit while the university community values the word-processing package at $125 and the spreadsheet at $200. (Assume that the marginal cost of each unit is zero.) a. What are the profit-maximizing price that High-Tech should charge if they sell each product separately and what is the total price of the two goods? b. If High-Tech is able to engage in tying, what is the profit-maximizing price for the two products as a bundle? c. Should this be legal?
Imagine you are the owner of the Omaha Surfboard Company. You have a branch in Omaha and in Long Beach CA. After some market research you find the following surfboard demand for each market, Omaha Demand: Qo = 1000 – 10P Long Beach Demand: QL = 1000 – 5P Combined/Total Demand: Q = 2000 – 15P Your marginal cost is constant at $40. a. Find your price and quantity if you treated the market as a single entity with a single price. What is your profit? (Hint: find Marginal Revenue and set equal to MC) b. If you treat each market separately, what is P and Quantity in each market, and final profit?

The following figure shows the demand curve for Good X in a perfectly competitive market. Later, the government grants one of the firms the exclusive right to manufacture and sell Good X. MR represents the marginal revenue curve of the firm when it operates as a monopoly. The marginal cost of producing Good X is constant at $5.

What happens to the quantity supplied once the market changes to a monopoly? b) What is the market price when the market is perfectly competitive? What is the market price when the market changes to a monopoly? c) Compare the consumer surplus when the market is perfectly competitive and when the market is a monopoly. Is there any producer surplus or deadweight loss in either case? If yes, then how much?
