Clearvoice is a wireless telephone monopolist in a rural area. There are 100 consumers, each of whom has a monthly demand curve for wireless minutes of Qd = 100 - 100P, where P is the per-minute price in dollars. The marginal cost of providing wireless service is 10 cents per minute. Suppose that Clearvoice charges 40 cents per minute.

How large a fixed fee can Clearvoice charge and still persuade consumers to buy the service?

What will be its profit from each consumer? [Hint: Recall that the largest fixed fee is equal to the consumer surplus of each customer at the price of 40 cents/minute.]

In a small town, the managers of the three janitorial service firms have tacitly agreed to charge $150 per week for cleaning a standard-sized office. Each firm services 200 offices. The marginal cost and average total cost of cleaning an office are both $130.

(a) What is each firm's economic profit?

(b) Suppose that a new office opens. Its owners tell the managers of one of the janitorial service firms that they will hire the janitorial services but only if the price is $140 per week. Is this new contract profitable for this firm? If the janitorial service managers sign the contract, how would it affect the tacit collusion among the firms?

A) If XYZ charges a uniform price for its services, what price will it charge per unit of service and how many units of services will it produce to maximize profit?

B) Calculate the consumer surplus and producer surplus if XYZ charges a uniform price for its services.

C) If XYZ could perfectly price discriminate, what is the lowest price it would charge for its service and how many units of services would it produce to maximize profit?
