!!!!Please only solve for 1 and 2!!!

Solve the following problem statement-

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Delta Airlines has frequent (every hour or every two hours) flights between key metropolises in the Northeast - they call these flights the "Delta Shuttle" service.At the time of writing this problem set, the Shuttle service is offered between New York and Boston (LGA-BOS), DC (LGA-DCA), and Chicago (LGA-ORD).

In the late 90s, Delta offered special student pricing on the Boston route, perhaps due to the fact that Boston is a college city (Boston University, Boston College, MIT, Harvard, etc.), but then discontinued the program in early 2000.Now Delta is re-considering decisions on their shuttle route.The MD-88 plane has 148 seats and the Embraer 175 has 76 seats.

``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

1Please find the marginal cost?

2-What is the maximum profit Delta can earn by flying the Embraer 175?

a.Should they offer different student v business passenger pricing?

b.What pricing should they sell seats at? What quantity will they sell, what will be their revenue, and what will be their profit? If you answered yes in (5a), give price and quantity for each youth and business segment.
