Carey Company owns a plot of land on which buried toxic wastes have been discovered. Since it will require several years and a considerable sum of money before the property is fully detoxified and capable of generating revenues, Carey wishes to sell the land now. It has located two potential buyers. Buyer A, who is willing to pay $850,000 for the land now, or Buyer B, who is willing to make 20 annual payments of $90,000, with the first payment to be made at the end of the year. Assuming that the appropriate rate of interest is 9%, who should Carey sell the land. Show calculations.

Suppose there are three types of consumers who attend concerts at your university’s performing arts center: students, staff, and faculty. each of these groups has a different willingness to pay for tickets; within each group, willingness to pay is identical. there is a fixed cost of $1,000 to put on a concert, but there are essentially no variable costs. for each concert: i. there are 140 students willing to pay $20. (ii) there are 200 staff members willing to pay $35. (iii) there are 100 faculty members willing to pay $50. a) if the performing arts center can charge only one price, what price should it charge? what are profits at this price? b) if the performing arts center can price discriminate and charge two prices, one for students and another for faculty/staff, what are its profits? c) if the performing arts center can perfectly price discriminate and charge students, staff, and faculty three separate prices, what are its profits?
