At a price of $8.5 per ticket, a musical theater group can fill every seat in their 1800 seat performance hall. For every additional dollar charged for admission, the number of tickets sold drops by 65. a) What ticket price maximizes revenue? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The ticket price that maximizes revenue is $18.10

Explanation:

Hi, first we need to construct the revenue equation in terms of the additional dollar charge (that would be X). That is:

Revenue=Price*Quantity

Revenue=(8.5-X)(1,800-65X)

So we expand it:

Revenue=15,300-552.5X+1,800X-65X^(2)

Revenue=-65X^(2) +1247.5X+15,300

This is a parabola, and we need to find its vertex, which in our case that would be the maximum additional dollar charge in order to obtain the highest revenue possible, to find the vertex, we need to consider that:

Y(X)=AX^(2)+ BX+C

And to find the X-coordenate we have to use the following equation.

Vertex(X)=(-B)/(2A)

In our case, A= -65; B= 1,247.5, so, all should look like this:

Vertex (X)=(-(1247.50)/(2(-65)) =9.6

That means, we need to make 9.6 increments of $1 in order to obtain the max revenue possible, therefore, the price would be

Price = $8.50 + $1(9.6)= $8.50 + $9.6 =$18.10

Best of luck.

Jones Company manufactures an executive chair. The company has budgeted variable costs of $100 for each chair and fixed costs of $7,000 per month. A static budget predicted production and sales of 200 chairs in January, but the company actually produced and sold only 180 chairs at a total cost of $26,000. Jones Company total flexible budget cost for 180 chairs per month is:

Answers

Answer:

Total flexible budget cost=$25,000 per month

Explanation:

The total flexible budget can be expressed as;

Total flexible budget=Total variable cost+Total fixed costs

where;

Total variable cost=Cost per chair×actual number of chairs produced and sold

Total variable cost=(100)×180=$18,000 per month

Total fixed cost=$7,000 per month

replacing;

Total flexible budget=(18,000+7,000)=$25,000

Total flexible budget cost=$25,000 per month

b. order the minor to cancel the contract.
c. require the minor to fulfill the contract.
d. allow the minor to cancel the contract.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Under the doctrine of the stare decisis, the court will look into the past or the similar issues in order to guide their decisions related to the issues. And the past decisions are referred or acknowledged as the precedent.

Precedent is the principle or rule which is legal and it is established or created by the decision of the court. And this decision become the authority or the example for judging or deciding the similar issues.
