| | Two-part tariff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | A two-part tariff is a pricing technique in which the price of a product or service is composed of two parts. |  | | In short, the way two-part tariff's work is the producer charges the consumer surplus as an entrance fee or cover charge, and then just charges the marginal cost for each unit of the good. |  | | Economists view two part tarifs as a means to the end of price discrimination in partially or fully monopolistic markets. |

 | | where only two political parties have a realistic chance of winning an election election is a decision making process whereby people vote for preferred political candidates or parties to act as representatives in government. |  | | In two 20th-century British elections, for example, the party with the second-highest total vote tally actually won a parliamentary majority. |  | | The two parties that dominate at any particular time thus have an incentive to keep the existing rules in operation, so as to prevent electoral erosion to the benefit of smaller parties. |

| | Nepra introduces two-part tariff for power consumers -DAWN - National; 11 August, 2004 |
 | | The revenue accruing in case of consumers billed on a two- part tariff is affected by the load factor of the power consumption in that category and is therefore estimated on the basis of average per kwh revenue accruing from that class of consumers during the previous year on actual basis. |  | | The industrial sector is already being billed under the two- part tariff system, in which an industrial unit has to pay for a certain capacity. |  | | The distribution companies have been directed to undertake studies for the assessment of the cost of service to each consumer category and consumption class separately and to submit a proposal for a revision of the tariff structure and the associated terms and conditions of tariff on the basis of the study for approval. |

| | John Quiggin - Submissions - HilmerTCC.html |
 | | This position is supported in part by general claims about the proved superiority of private sector business methods and in part by economic analysis such as that of the Industry Commission (1989, 1995a) which suggested that an extensive program of microeconomic reform could raise GDP by as much as 5.5 per cent. |  | | Unfortunately, many advocates of two-part tariffs, notably including the Industry Commission have assumed that the access component of a two-part tariff must be equal for all users, or at least for all households and have therefore recommended the removal of fixed charges based on property values. |  | | Under a two-part tariff, usages charges are normally set at short-run marginal costs, while fixed costs are recovered through access charges. |

| | Pricing Network Usage: A Market for Bandwidth or Market for Communication? |
 | | The strategy of using a two-part tariff is normatively appealing because users pay a fixed fee based on their scale, so large sites pay more than small sites, and the variable fees vary with usage; however once packets are admitted to the system, each packet is routed alike, and all originator sites are treated alike. |  | | The liability for communication costs (obligation to collect and submit the communication cost) may be imposed by the network owner on senders (sellers of information) and/or on receivers (buyers of information). |  | | Secondly, the question of incidence and liability for communication (network usage) costs are two distinct issues. |

 | | During the development of the RTP tariff, the issues of net costs for its operation and identifiable costs versus likely, but unaccounted for benefits were raised in comments. |  | | For these programmatic efforts, outside of tariff rates, the CPUC and DWR appear to believe that specifically including them in the Rate Agreement and estimating their costs in DWR’s computation of revenue requirements is the appropriate approach. |  | | Under these circumstances, there is no reason to attempt to hold RTP as a tariff to any higher standard than any other tariff that exists, especially when the revenue versus cost disparities are likely to be much larger for other tariffs. |

| | Coordinating Channels for Durable Goods: The Impact of Competing Secondary Markets |
 | | An important result from this literature is that the manufacturer can coordinate retail price decisions by choosing a two-part tariff in which the wholesale price equals the manufacturer’s marginal cost and the fixed fee extracts all the rents from the retailer. |  | | Given the well-established results from the existing channel coordination literature, we begin with a contract in which the manufacturer offers per-period two-part tariffs in which all wholesale prices are set at marginal cost. |  | | In this contract, at the beginning of period 1, the manufacturer writes a contract with the retailer specifying a fixed fee and two per-period wholesale prices, both of which turn out to be strictly above the marginal cost. |

 | | However, with a tariff, some of what consumers lose is collected by the government in the form of taxes. |  | | The classic problem of monopoly is that it sets a higher price than marginal cost, which distorts the trade-offs in the economy and moves it away from Pareto efficiency. |  | | Regulation is like a quota, and a tax is like a tariff. |

| | Does Format of Pricing Contract Matter? |
 | | A two-part tariff charges the downstream party a fixed fee for participation and a uniform unit price. |  | | To account for the observed empirical regularities, we allow the downstream party to have a reference-dependent utility in which the upfront fixed fee is framed as loss andn the subsequent contribution margin as gain. |  | | Extant economic theories predict these contracts, when chosen optimally, to be revenue and division equivalent in that they all restore full channel effciency and give the same surplus to the upstream party assuming constant relative bargaining power. |

 | | Under the two part tariff, a customer pays a basic levy or service charge of R55 as a single phase and R75 as a three-phase customer per month, plus 23,32 cents per kWh (unit). |  | | All prepaid customers will be placed on the lifeline tariff and cannot therefore exercise a choice. |  | | In the Metro region, if they are single-phase customers and their average monthly consumption is exactly 1 150 kWh, a specific choice is not necessary, as the bill will be similar on both tariffs. |
