Suppose that a museum of modern art discovers the following: adults are willing to pay $20 per ticket to see a Monet exhibit. Students are willing to pay less; 60% of students have WTP of $15, and 40% are willing to pay up to $10. There are no marginal costs to allowing more viewers into the museum. The museum manager decides to set the regular price at $20, and offer a student discount. What discount should it offer?

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we have here

If adults would pay 20$

Out of a 100% students:

60% would pay 15

40% would pay 10

If regular price = 20$

We are required to find discount

Discount = (20 - 10)/20 x 100

Discount = 0.5 x 100

Discount = 50%

The museum should offer 50percent discount.
