We are reviewing our Uber surge pricing strategy and we are thinking about enacting a bar-district surge price. We have studied demand characterizes of rides in major cities with well-known bar districts. Furthermore, our data analytics team has estimated the inverse demand P1(Q1) for rides to bar districts before 2am and the inverse demand P2(Q2) for rides from bar districts after 2am, as follows: Group 1: rides to bar districts before 2am: P1(Q1) = 5 – 0.01Q1
Group 2: rides from bar district after 2am: P2(Q2) = 10 – 0.01Q2

First, note that these price functions are in per mile terms. Also, keep in mind that our marginal costs per mile driven is $1. Please review optimal prices to charge to each group (using 3rd degree price discrimination) and let me know what the resulting profits would be. I am curious to see how much higher the "after 2am" bar-district surge price could go.

Also, in your review of customizing a higher price to people leaving bar-districts after 2am, let me know if you spot any legal/ethical risks. We have a good partnership with Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), so I want to think about all the risks of this bar-district surge price.

Which of the following statements is correct? large corporations are taxed more favorably than sole proprietorships. corporate stockholders are exposed to unlimited liability. due to limited liability, unlimited lives, and ease of ownership transfer, the vast majority of u. s. businesses (in terms of number of businesses) are organized as corporations. most businesses (by number and total dollar sales) are organized as partnerships or proprietorships because it is easier to set up and operate in one of these forms rather than as a corporation. however, if the business gets very large, it becomes advantageous to convert to a corporation, mainly because corporations have important tax advantages over proprietorships and partnerships. most business (measured by dollar sales) is conducted by corporations in spite of large corporationsâ€™ often less favorable tax treatment, due to legal considerations related to ownership transfers and limited liability.
