Answer:
1. I feel like Pat's new strategy isn't ethical. Pat doesn't pay for the suits; he just buys them and then returns them. Pat benefits, but the store he gets the suits from doesn't. In fact, they are harmed from this transaction because they are unable to have the suit for others to buy while Pat has it. There could be consequences with this strategy. For example, the suit might be damaged, and Pat won't be able to return it. Another problem is that others might find out about Pat's strategy, and they might view them as unprofessional. This is a problem for Pat since the reason Pat wore those suits was to look professional.
2. The stores are harmed from this transaction. They are unable to sell the suits to other buyers. The stores lose potential customers, so the stores lose potential money.
3. The companies should record that Pat had bought the suit only to return it the next day, so that they can act accordingly when Pat or someone else comes back to "buy" a suit.

Answer:
1. The elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be INELASTIC.
2. Demand curves become LESS elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be MORE profitable in the long run.
Explanation:
1. As demand is inelastic, the percentage of price increase will be greater than the decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded, and consequently profit will increase.
2. In the long term, demand becomes inelastic. Consequently, in the long term the percentage of the price increase will continue to be greater than the percentage of decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded.
Answer:
B) $125,000
Explanation:
Price discrimination strategy refers to charging each customer the maximum amount of money he/she is willing to pay for a product.
In this case, the concert promoters should charge $150 per ticket to 1,000 die hard fans = $150,000 in revenue.
Then it should charge only $50 per ticket to 500 casual fans = $25,000 in revenue.
Total revenue = $150,000 + $25,000 = $175,000
<u>minus total costs = ($50,000) </u>
Net income = $125,000
