**********Please note the cost of the trip for us as the business owner is $4800 for both tours, the price to the customer will be less on the bundling, does this mean that our profit margins are smaller with bundling? This is where I am hung up on this question. ?????????*******

Follow up question (note that the dollar amounts have not changed from the previous scenario.)

You operate a Caribbean destination resort. You currently offer plans for a cruise departing from the resort and plans for a casino stay. It is expected that in 2021 there will be some return to more normal travel. You will re-launch your advertising for 2021 announcing that customers will be able to do both for one price. Your marginal cost per customer across both tours is $4800.
