- (Using Excel) (Cannibalization) Suppose in the Stanford Stadium problem that 10% of the General Public would use false pretenses (counterfeit or borrowed student ID) to buy a student ticket. Stanford knows this. Assume the same initial response functions we used in class, and assume the willingness to pay distribution for cheaters is the same as non-cheaters (i.e., uniform). (Hint: Build three response functions: (a) students, (b) cheaters, (c) non-cheaters.)
- Write out the correct optimization formulation for this problem. Use ps
for the student price, pg
for the general public price. - How should Stanford set their General Public and Student prices? (solve for optimal prices in Excel)
- What are the new optimal revenues?
- How many of the student ticket sales are to real students and how many are to fake students?
- Write out the correct optimization formulation for this problem. Use ps
General Public: dg (p g) = (120000 - 3000 p g )
Student: ds (ps) = (20000 -1250ps)
