Ask Economics Question

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics.

I will post the answer on this blog, for everyone to benefit from.

I shall try to answer the economics question and / or point to other resources but please bear in mind.

  1. The replies will be guidance and not for duplication. Your essays should always be your own work.
  2. My speciality is economics for British A Level standard. My university economics is rusty in parts, because generally I don’t use it in teaching A level economics.
  3. I can’t guarantee to always give answers it also depends on my time schedule.
  4. The aim is not to do people’s homework for them, but, help in the understanding of economic concepts.
  5. The answers will not necessarily be complete. I know several of my essays on this site could be improved.
  6. Please Write the Questions clearly and with proper spelling. Some questions I have not answered because they were not clear what was meant.
  7. I will answer as a new post. Check home page of blog for new post. With question and answers

I studied PPE at Lady Margaret Hall college, Oxford University, and currently work as an Economics A Level teacher. I have also examined several different economic units for Edexcel AS and A2.

If you find the information useful, you are welcome to buy me a coffee :)

  1. This is about price-searching firms and two-part pricing to advise the company below.? this is about price-searching firms and two-part pricing to advise the company below. Please if you can use calculus or any other method, Thank you very much, this is a 10 points c question, Thank you please Draw diagram if is appropriate This is about price-searching firms and two-part pricing to advise the company below. A company has a bar and is trying to decide on the cover charge (if any) and price for each drink. It has done a modest regression study in which it asked customers to classify themselves as light drinkers or heavy drinkers and to indicate the number of drinks they would typically consume during the evening. The estimate from the regression study is that a change in the price equal to $1 per drink causes light drinkers to change their consumption on average by 0.5 drinks per night. However, a change in price of $1 causes heavy drinkers to change their consumption on average by 1.0 drink per night. For both groups a typical consumer will not consume anything once the price reaches $7 per drink. (They may instead go to another bar or not go to a bar at all.) Draw a demand curve for a typical light drinker and for a typical heavy drinker on the same diagram. Explain your diagram. If 300 people visit the bar on a typical evening, with 200 people being light drinkers and 100 people being heavy drinkers, draw an overall demand curve for all of the consumers combined. What is the slope and what is the intercept for this demand curve? Recall that, in the case of a straight line demand curve, the slope of the marginal revenue line for a company that does not practice price discrimination is double the slope of the market demand curve. If the marginal cost of making drinks is constant at $3 per drink, and if no cover charge is assessed, what is the best price to charge for drinks? How many drinks would be sold on a typical evening? What would your profits be? If you cut your price by $1 per drink AND assess the maximum possible cover charge without causing a typical light drinker to refuse to enter the bar, would your profits improve? How high would the cover charge be? Calculate both the cover charge and your total profits.
