Question 2

Marge's Beauty Salon sells shampoo and conditioner. Marge has two types of customers. Their willingness-to-pay for shampoo and conditioner are given in the table below.
 
  If Marge bundles the shampoo and conditioner, could she increase revenue? Shampoo Conditioner Type I 8 5 Type II 6 8

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

If Marge bundles the products together and sells the bundle for 13, each of her customers will be willing to buy the bundle. Without bundling, Marge would need to sell the shampoo for 6 and the conditioner for 5 in order to sell each customer both items. Thus, revenue from both items is 11 for each customer. Bundling increases Marge's revenues by 2 per customer.
