Q1.

Requirements for the successful price discrimination

The following conditions must be met for price discrimination to be successful:

1.Firms must be able to control supply. I.e, there should be regulation on supply of products to avoid surplus which will force the price down

2.Firms must prevent resale of products from one buyer to another.

3.There must be a difference in price elasticities in the different markets for the product.

Yes, Dry Cleaning qualifies for price discrimination because it may be on first come first serve bases. Meanwhile, when the client needs the service urgently, the price for same service may increase which results in price discrimination.

Q2.

Other examples of price discrimination

Example of price discrimination are

1. The cost of movie tickets in a cinema: Prices at one theater are different for children, adults, and seniors. Also, the price may also vary due to preferential treatment given to VIP to watch same movie with other. Some cinema houses also give less privilege people or people with special needs such as albinos lesser prices. The prices of each ticket can also vary based on the day and chosen show time. Ticket prices also vary depending on the portion of the country as well.

2. Industries use price discrimination as a way to increase revenue. It is possible for some industries to offer retailers different prices based solely on the volume of products purchased. Price discrimination can also be based on age, location, desire for the product, and customer wage.

3.Airline travel and time of departure: Airlines charge different prices depending on the season, time of the flight and day of the week. During the peak holiday season, the prices will be higher because demand is greater and more inelastic. Airplanes also offer numerous ways to charge different prices for privileges like choosing a seat early or priority check-in. These perks are a way of extracting higher prices from those who want to pay for extras.

4.Quantity Purchased: Many sellers offer quantity discounts for bulk purchases as a way to get buyers to buy more.

Q3.

It is best left to the market to determine the price because some businesses are seasonal (i.e they are best sold based on season to season) example of such is packaging drinking water during raining season human water consumption is less because the environment is highly humid and people tends to consume lesser water. However, during dry season the sales peaked since there is much need to hydrate the system for healthy functioning of the body. So, if such business is to be regulated, the manufacturer may run at loss.

Women Pays more due to gender pricing because women clothes and hair generally take more time to work with.

Answer:

$525,000

Explanation:

The computation of the net inflow or outflow is shown below:

= Total outflow - total inflow

where,

Total outflow = ∈2,000,000 × $1.05 = $2,100,000

Total inflow = ∈1,500,000 × $1.05 = $1,575,000

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $2,100,000 - $1,575,000

= $525,000

This amount shows a net outflow as total outflow is greater than the total inflow.

Your parents will retire in 29 years. They currently have $200,000 saved, and they think they will need $2,400,000 at retirement

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

8.95%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Time, n = 29 years

Principle amount = $200,000

Future value = $2,400,000

Now,

Using the compounding formula

Future value = Principle × [ 1 + r ]ⁿ

here,

r is the interest rate

Thus,

$2,400,000 = $200,000 × [ 1 + r ]²⁹

[ 1 + r ]²⁹ = 12

taking the natural log both the sides, we have

29 × ln(1 + r) = ln(12)

ln(1 + r) = 0.08569

1 + r = $e^{0.08569}$

1 + r = 1.0895

r = 0.0895

r = 0.0895 × 100% = 8.95%

Larkspur, Inc. reports net income of $89,770 in 2017. However, ending inventory was understated by $7,100. Collapse question par

swat32

Answer:

$96,870

Explanation:

The understatement of ending inventory causes the cost of goods sold to be overstated and the gross and net income to be understated by the same amount.

If the 2017 ending inventory was understated by $7,100 then the correct net income figure for 2017 will be $7,1000 more that what was reported.

Therefore, 2017 corrected net income

= $89,770 + $7,100

= $96,870
