Suppose two types of consumers buy suits. Consumers of type A will pay $100 for a coat and $50 for pants. Consumers of type B will pay $75 for a coat and $75 for pants. The firm selling suits faces no competition and has a marginal cost of zero. If the firm sells coats and pants for $25 each, but offers a bundle containing both a coat and pants for $150, how many bundles will the firm sell

The firm will not sell any bundle, the amount of bundle to be sold will be zero.

Explanation

Solution

Since firm sells at $25 each for coats and pants, then If consumer wants to purchase both Pant and Coat, the customer will have to pay 25 + 25 = $50.

Also, If consumer purchase Pant and Coat as a Bundle then, he will pay 150. From the question stated we can conclude  that  their is a form of interest to pay for Pant and Coat for Both consumers are higher than 25.

However, they will have to pay an amount less for 1 coat and 1 pant if they buy this in a separate way instead of a  Bundle.

We can say, that type of consumers (both) will not buy the pants and coat as a bundle, but will want to buy them separately.

Therefore, any bundle will not be sold by firm. the amount of Bundle sold will be known as a zero Bundle
