[Answer to ques. #3]  a

[Answer to ques. #4]  b

[Answer to ques. #5]  This is a price discrimination scheme trying to separate locals from tourists. Tourists do not get to go to the park as often as locals and so their demand is less elastic. Locals have many opportunities to visit the park and so their demand for additional visits over the summer is relatively elastic. The discount on the Coke can is an attempt to offer lower prices to the more elastic locals. Six Flags limits the distribution of the specially marked cans to just locals as a way to limit arbitrage.

[Answer to ques. #6]  A

[Answer to ques. #7]  Two stores keep tourists from arbitraging away the price differences in Cody's discrimination scheme. Since tourists do not have too many opportunities to buy cowboy hats, their demand rather inelastic. Ranch hands often replace their hats and are more aware of the different retailers and so are more elastic demanders. Cody takes advantage of this fact by charging higher prices at the Stockyards. It does not sell to ranch hands out of this store because tourists would try to arbitrage away the price differential.
