Vincent operates a scenic tour business in Boston. He has one bus which can fit 50 people per tour and each tour lasts 2 hours. His total cost of operating one tour is fixed at $450. Vincent’s cost is not reduced if he runs a tour with a partially full bus. While his cost is the same for all tours, Vincent uses a pricing practice called price discrimination and charges each passenger his/her willingness to pay: adults $18 per trip, children $10 per trip, and senior citizens $12 per trip. At those rates, on a typical day Vincent’s demand is: Passenger Type
