答案和解析也传上来吧,没详细看When there are two classes of customers, serious and occasional players, the club owner maximizes profits by charging court fees above marginal cost and by setting the entry fee (annual dues) equal to the remaining consumer surplus of the consumer with the lesser demand, in this case, the occasional player. The entry fee, T, is equal to the consumer surplus remaining after the court fee is assessed:
T = (Q2 – 0)(16 – P)(1/2),
where
Q2 = 4 – (1/4)P, or
T = (1/2)(4 – (1/4)P)(16 – P) = 32 – 4P + P2/8.
Entry fees for all players would be
2000(32 – 4P + P2/8).
Revenues from court fees equals
P(Q1 + Q2) = P[1000(10 – P) + 1000(4 – P/4)] = 14,000P – 1250P2.
Then total revenue = TR = 64,000 – 6000P – 1000P2.
Marginal cost is zero and marginal revenue is given by the slope of the total revenue curve:
∆TR/∆P = 6000 – 2000P.
Equating marginal revenue and marginal cost implies a price of $3.00 per hour. Total revenue is equal to $73,000. Total cost is equal to fixed costs of $10,000. So profit is $63,000 per week, which is greater than the $40,000 when only serious players become members.
