Suppose a nonlinear price discriminating monopolist faces an inverse demand curve: Upper P equals 120 minus Upper Q, and can set three prices depending on the quantity a consumer purchases. The firm's profit is: pi equals p 1 Upper Q 1 plus p 2 (Upper Q 2 minus Upper Q 1 )plus p 3 (Upper Q 3 minus Upper Q 2 )minus m Upper Q 3, where p 1 is the high price charged on the first units Upper Q 1 (first block) and p 2 is a lower price charged on the next (Upper Q 2 minus Upper Q 1 )units and p 3 is the lowest price charged on the (Upper Q 3 minus Upper Q 2 )remaining units. Upper Q 3 is the total number of units actually purchased, and m = $50 is the firm's constant marginal and average cost. Using calculus, determine the profit-maximizing values for p 1, p 2, and p 3, and the firm's profits.

The east asiatic company (eac), a danish company with subsidiaries throughout asia, has been funding its bangkok subsidiary primarily with u.s. dollar debt because of the cost and availability of dollar capital as opposed to thai baht-denominated (b) debt. the treasurer of eac-thailand is considering a 1-year bank loan for $247,000.the current spot rate is b32.03 /$, and the dollar-based interest is 6.78% for the 1-year period. 1-year loans are 12.04% in baht.a. assuming expected inflation rates of 4.3 % and 1.24% in thailand and the united states, respectively, for the coming year, according to purchase power parity, what would the effective cost of funds be in thai baht terms? b. if eac's foreign exchange advisers believe strongly that the thai government wants to push the value of the baht down against the dollar by5% over the coming year (to promote its export competitiveness in dollar markets), what might the effective cost of funds end up being in baht terms? c. if eac could borrow thai baht at 13% per annum, would this be cheaper than either part (a) or part (b) above?
