Comentarios del Tutor:<\/strong> Este es un ejercicio bastante com\u00fan en las sesiones de Econom\u00eda. No es complicado pero a veces el estudiante no sabe c\u00f3mo empezar. Edit\u00e9 un poco la sesi\u00f3n para enfatizar que es muy importante hacer que el estudiante complete las columnas, haga los c\u00e1lculos y justifique la respuesta. Al final el objetivo es lograr que el estudiante se sienta due\u00f1o de la respuesta\u00a0despu\u00e9s\u00a0de haber pensado un poco. A continuaci\u00f3n la sesi\u00f3n:<\/p>\n

Student<\/strong>: A bank in a medium-sized midwestern city, Firm X, currently charges $1 per transaction at its ATMs. To determine whether to raise price, the bank managers experimented with a number of higher prices (in 25-cent increments) at selected ATMs. The marginal cost of an ATM transaction is $0.50. ATM Fee Usage $2 1,000 $1.75 1,500 $1.50 2,000 $1.25 2,500 $1.00 3,000 What ATM fee should the bank charge?<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Hi, how are you?<\/p>\n

Student<\/strong>: Hello<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> I see you have a profit maximization problem. Did you start solving this?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> No. I’ve been trying to solve it, but have had issues for quite some time. I don\u2019t know how to start.<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> In this kind of problem it\u2019s good to have all the information in a table. Please see the whiteboard. We have information of the price, the quantity demanded and the marginal cost.<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> The fee is the price, right?<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s what the bank receives for each transaction.<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Alrighty.<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> In the whiteboard I put a table with 5 columns, let\u2019s complete it with your information<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> OK<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Do you know what profit is?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Like, the equation?<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> The concept<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Yes<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Can you please tell me?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Does it matter if its economic or accounting profit?<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> In this case both are the same, profit is just the difference between revenue and cost. Can you please complete the columns of revenue and profit? Remember that revenue equals P*Q<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Working on it<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Take your time<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Finished<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Let me check. The revenue is correct but not the profit. Profit = total revenue \u2013 total cost. Keep in mind that each transaction cost 0.5<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Then MC*Q = TC?<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Yes!!! Can you please complete that column?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Done<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Perfect, now we can answer our question. What ATM fee should the bank charge?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Not sure<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Remember we need to maximize the profit.<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Then it should be 1.5<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Why?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> Because it gives you the largest profit<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> Exactly!!! That\u2019s correct =)<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> wonderful! Thanks!!<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> You\u2019re welcome. Do you have any question about anything we went over today?<\/p>\n

Student:<\/strong> makes sense…gotcha. Thanks man \ud83d\ude42 Spent forever getting this done!! Thanks!! Enjoy your evening<\/p>\n

Tutor:<\/strong> You too, have a good night.<\/p>\n
