Tommy’s Tie Company, a monopolist, has the following cost and revenue information. Assume that Tommy’s is able to engage in perfect price discrimination.

Refer to Table 15-21. If the monopolist can engage in perfect price discrimination, what is the marginal revenue from selling the 5th tie?

a. $80

b. $100

c. $110

d. $120


Answer: a. $80

The marginal revenue from selling the 5th tie is equal to the difference between the total revenue by selling 5 ties and the total revenue by selling 4 ties.

So the marginal revenue by selling the 5th tie = $600 - $520 = $80
