Question:
A large restaurant chain sells hamburgers and French fries as separate products.
There are 2 million consumers across all of the restaurant’s locations. Of those, 1 million consumers value hamburgers at $5 and French fries at $1, while the other 1 million value hamburgers at $3 and French fries at $3.
The restaurant is considering three pricing strategies:
1. Sell hamburgers for $5 and French fries for $3.
2. Sell hamburgers for $4 and French fries for $2
3. Sell hamburgers and French fries as one product combined for $6.
Calculate the restaurant’s profit under each strategy. Which of these pricing strategies should the restaurant adopt to maximize its profits?
