Question

Scenario 15-6 The concert promoters of a heavy-metal band, WeR2Loud, know that there are two types of concert-goers: die-hard fans and casual fans. For a particular WaR 2 Loud concert, there are 1,000 die-hard fans who will pay $150 for a ticket and 500 casual fans who will pay $50 for a ticket. There are 1,500 seats available at the concert venue. Suppose the cost of putting on the concert is $50,000, which includes the cost of the band, lighting, security, etc.

Refer to Scenario 15-6. How much additional profit can the concert promoters earn by charging each customer their willingness to pay relative to charging a flat price of $50 per ticket?

Answer 1

$25000

Step-by-step explanation:

The profit can be calculated using he following formula:

Profit = Sales - Expenses

Here

Expenses are $50,000 and

Sales are $50 per ticket with 1500 customers

So the total sales would be $75,000 ($50 per ticket * 1500 customers).

So by putting values in the above equation, we have:

Profit = $75,000 - $50,000 = $25,000
