Answer:
The company will need to sale 3,883 units to maintain its current operating income of 400,000
Explanation:
We will calculate the point at which the company mantains his current income in units at the new scenario:
<u>Where:</u>
625 - 190 = 435 each units contributes this amount to afford the fixed cost and make a gain.
Current income: contribution x units sold - fixed cost
(590-190) x 4,000 - 1,200,000 = 400,000
(1,200,000 + 89,000 + 400,000) / 435 = 3,882.75862 = 3,883 units
The company will need to sale 3,883 units to maintain its current operating income of 400,000

Answer:
a) see attached graph. There is nothing unusual with the supply curve, it is simply fixed. This happens to most services, e.g. there is a fixed number of hotel rooms available for rent, in the short run you cannot add more rooms per night if the demand increases. In order to increase the quantity supplied, you would need to build a larger hotel, or in this case, a larger stadium.
b) the equilibrium price is $8 and the equilibrium quantity is 8,000 tickets
c) if the college plans to increase enrollment, the demand might increase, leading to a higher equilibrium price, but the supply will remain the same until the stadium is expanded.
