Use the following news clip to work Problems 25 to 27. The Right Price for Digital Music Apple’s $1.29 for-the-latest-songs model isn’t perfect and isn’t it too much to pay for music that appeals to just a few people? What we need is a system that will be profitable but fair to music lovers. The solution: Price song downloads according to demand. The more people who download a particular song, the higher will be the price of that song; The fewer people who buy a particular song, the lower will be the price of that song. That is a free-market solution—the market would determine the price. Source: Slate, December 5, 2005 Assume that the marginal social cost of downloading a song from the iTunes Store is zero. (This assumption means that the cost of operating the iTunes Store doesn’t change if people download more songs.)
25. a. Draw a graph of the market for down loadable music with a price of $1.29 for all the latest songs. On your graph, show consumer surplus and producer surplus.
b. With a price of $1.29 for all the latest songs, is the market efficient or inefficient? If it is inefficient, show the deadweight loss on your graph.
26. If the pricing scheme described in the news clip were adopted, how would consumer surplus, producer surplus, and the deadweight loss change?
27. a. If the pricing scheme described in the news clip were adopted, would the market be efficient or inefficient? Explain.
b. Is the pricing scheme described in the news clip a “free-market solution”? Explain.
