Copier Repairs When Kodak leased large photocopiers to businesses, they also bundled a maintenance contract for periodic repairs. Third-party repair firms claimed that Kodak violated antitrust laws because this bundle guaranteed Kodak a monopoly on repairs and excluded competitors' access. Why might the bundle have created value over what third-party repair shops could offer?

Question 2

Suppose the monopolist only sold the goods separately. What price will the monopolist charge for Good 2 to maximize revenues for good 2?
 a. 2,300
  b. 2,800
  c. 1,200
  d. 1,700

Answer to Question 1

Kodak is worried that a poor quality repairman will blame his failure to fix a broken photocopier on a poor Kodak machine. Repairmen who experience unexpected difficulties would not want to reveal their own incompetence. Instead, they can claim to the customer that Kodak just produces poor equipment. A repairman who is a Kodak employee has no incentive to shift the blame.

Answer to Question 2

c

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
