The Tire Shed is a regional chain that sells tires and other automobile parts.  The company sells its own brand of tires under a block pricing scheme that charges $100 per tire if the customer buys one or two tires and $75 per tire if the customer buys three or four tires.  The monthly demand curve facing the typical store is Q = 1000 - 4P, and the marginal cost of the tires is constant at $40 per tire.

a.   What are the monthly profits for the typical store under the block pricing scheme?  What is the consumer surplus enjoyed by customers of the typical store?
b.   Suppose the firm is considering a uniform pricing scheme with P = $90 per tire.  How does the firm profit and consumer surplus under uniform pricing compare to the profit and consumer surplus outcomes under block pricing?
