本文提出了面对产能限制时企业利润最大化价格歧视问题的图解解决方案。航空公司、酒店和其他公司实行收益管理，为支付不同价格的客户群体分配固定的运力。在这些情况下，公司的短期问题不是关于生产水平的决定，而是在客户之间分配固定数量的产出单位的问题。我们的图表表明，在这些情况下，利润最大化价格歧视的条件与企业不受产能限制的标准模型有很大不同。
This paper presents a diagrammatic solution to the firm’s profit-maximizing price discrimination problem in the face of capacity constraints. Airlines, hotels, and other firms practice yield management, allocating fixed capacity to customer groups paying different prices. In these cases, the firm’s short-run problem is not a decision about production levels, but it is one of allocating a fixed number of output units among customers. Our diagram shows that the conditions for profit-maximizing price discrimination are very different under these circumstances than in the standard model in which the firm is not constrained by capacity.
