Answer:
group 1 Markup = 0.333
group 2 Markup = 0.25
group 1 price = $79.98
group 2 price = $75
Explanation:
given data
Group 1 elasticity of demand = -4
Group 2 elasticity of demand = -5
marginal cost = $60
to find out
optimal markups and prices under third degree price discrimination
solution
we get here Under Markup pricing that is for group 1 and 2 is
Markup is = .....................1
so for group 1 Markup =
group 1 Markup = 0.333
and
for group 2 Markup =
group 2 Markup = 0.25
and
price will be
price = ( 1 + markup) × Marginal cost ...................2
group 1 price = ( 1 + 0.333 ) x 60
group 1 price = $79.98
and
group 2 price = ( 1 + 0.25 ) x 60
group 2 price = $75
