We study the problem of optimal pricing for a bundle of services characterized by two attributes (e.g., quantity and quality) and subject to capacity limitations or peakloading. An application is to services that take the form of a load-duration curve. Using separability assumptions on the demand and cost functions, we derive the optimal pricing policy for a monopolist seller. An example is solved completely.
