What conceptual determinant of auto demand price elasticity is most closely associated with the differences in switching cost across the target customers in the "Direct Mail Coupon at a Ford Dealership" example in Chapter 3 - low switching cost for the German couple who commute in an old Taurus and high switching cost for the older couple who drive Crown Vics?

Many grocery stores charge manufacturers a slot. ting fee: a one-time fee to place a given good on the shelf. Although stores sometimes claim that these fees are to cover their transaction costs of relabeling shelves and updating their computer files, the fees are too large- $\$ 50,000$ or more-for that to be the only reason. Suppose that both the manufacturer and the grocery stores were monopolies. What is the effect of a slotting fee on the manufacturer's wholesale price, the final price in the store, the number of units sold, and the two firms" profits?
