The marginal operating cost of each unit of quantity is $5. (Hint: Because marginal cost is a constant, so is average variable cost. Ignore fixed cost.) The owners of the amusement park want to maximize profits.

Calculate the price, quantity, and profit for each segment if the amusement park charges a different price in each market. (Hint: calculate profit at each price in the adult market, then in the child market, and choose profit maximizing in each. Using a spreadsheet would make this task manageable.)

Adult market price (in dollars): [a]

Adult market quantity: [b]

Adult market profit (in dollars): [c]

Child market price (in dollars): [d]

Child market quantity: [e]

Child market profit (in dollars): [f]

Total profit (adult + child, in dollars): [g]
