a.
To maximize profit, you should charge adults $7 and sell 300 tickets. You should charge children $4
and sell 200 tickets. Total revenue will be $2,100 + $800 = $2,900. Because total cost is $2,000, profit
will be $900.
b. If price discrimination were not allowed, you would want to set a price of $7 for the tickets. You
would sell 300 tickets and profit would be $100.
c.
The children who were willing to pay $4 but will not see the show now that the price is
$7 will be worse off. The producer is worse off because profit is lower. There is no one that is better
off.
