The Walt Disney Company is in a position to use a two-part tariff policy in setting prices for admission and rides at Disney World. If this strategy resulted in maximum profit, Disney would convert all consumer surplus into profit.

  A) Disney purposely charges less than the profit-maximizing price for admission to Disney World because it does not want to risk alienating its customers.
  B) To maximize its profits, Disney would have to know the demand curves of each of its customers. Since this is not possible, Disney is not able to convert all consumer surplus into profit.
  C) Disney purposely charges less than the profit-maximizing price for admission to Disney World in order to earn more profit from sales of food, lodging, and other related services.
