What effect does the $0.20-per-peep bribe have on Jimmy- total profit 



1. Jimmy has a room that overlooks, from some distance, a major league baseball stadium.
He decides to rent a telescope for $50.00 a week and charge his friends and
classmates to use it to peep at the game for 30 seconds. He can act as a single-price
monopolist for renting out “peeps.” For each person who takes a 30-second peep, it
costs Jimmy $0.20 to clean the eyepiece. The accompanying table shows the information
Jimmy has gathered about the demand for the service in a given week.
Price of peep                                        Quantity of peeps demanded
$1.20                                                                  0

0.80                                                                 200
0.70                                                                 250
0.60                                                                 300
0.50                                                                 350
0.40                                                                 400
0.30                                                                450
0.20                                                                500
0.10                                                                550

marginal revenue per peep.
b. At what quantity will Jimmy- profit be maximized? What price will he charge?
What will his total profit be?
c. Jimmy- landlady complains about all the visitors coming into the building and
tells Jimmy to stop selling peeps. Jimmy discovers, however, that if he gives the
landlady $0.20 for every peep he sells, she will stop complaining. What effect does
the $0.20-per-peep bribe have on Jimmy- marginal cost per peep? What is the
new profit-maximizing quantity of peeps? What effect does the $0.20-per-peep bribe have on Jimmy- total profit?
