Answer #1

P=50-0.1Q

TR= P*Q= 50Q-0.1Q^2

MR= dTR/Q= 50-0.2Q

MC=10

Charging all consumers same Price-

Optimal quantity is where MC=MR

50-0.2Q=10

Q*=40/0.2= 200

P*= 50-0.1*200= $30

Profit*= (P-MC)*Q= (30-10)*200= $4000

Under two part tariff-

Price= Marginal cost

50-0.1Q=10

Q**= 40/0.1= 400

P**= 50-0.1*400= $10= MC

Admission fee= consumer surplus= 1/2*(50-10)*400= $8000

Profit**= admission fee = $8000

Simce profits under two part tariff are greater, so best price strategy is under two part tariff.
