Microeconomic Question. Please Help

Refer to the figure above. Suppose the graphs represent the demand for use of a local golf course for which there is no significant competition (it has a local monopoly); P denotes the price of a round of golf. Q is the quantity of rounds sold each day. If the left graph represents the demand during weekdays, and the right graph the weekend demand, this profit -maximizing golf course should charge $ .for each round on weekdays, and $ during the weekend. (I point) 2. Refer to the figure above. If the left graph represents the demand during weekdays, and the right graph the weekend demand, then over the course of a full seven-day week this price -discriminating, profit -maximizing golf course should sell at total of rounds (2 points) 3 Refer to the figure above. If the left graph represents the demand during weekdays, and the right graph the weekend demand, this profit -maximizing golf course will earn how much economic profit over the course of a full seven-day week? It will earn a profit of (2 points)

Explanation / Answer

1. profit maximisation output

MR=MC

Weekdays price = $7

Weekend price =$10

2.

Price discrimanating to profit maximisation output

Weekdays Q =5*200=1000

Weekend Q = 100*2 =200

Total round =1200

3.

Weekdays

ATC= 4 , Total cost = 1000*4=4000

Price = 7, revenue = 1000*7 = 7000

Profit = revenue-cost = 3000

Weekend

ATC= 4, Total cost = 200*4= 800

Price = 10, revenue = 200*10 = 2000

Profit = 1200

Total profit over week = 1200+3000 = 4200
