A university is trying to determine what price to charge for tickets to football games. At a price of $24 per ticket, attendan

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer: Price per ticket should be charged in order to maximize revenue is $15.

70000 people will attend at this price.

Explanation:

Let 'x' represent the decrease .

Using the given information,

Price per ticket = 24 - 3x

Average no. of people that watch the game = 40000 + 10000x

Additional money spent by every person = 6(40000 + 10000x)

Revenue [R(x)] = Price per ticket $\times$ Average no. of people that watch the game + Additional money spent

Revenue [R(x)] = (24 - 3x) $\times$ (40000 + 10000x) + 6(40000 + 10000x)

On solving the above equation we get ,

Revenue [R(x)] = -30000 $x^{2}$ + 180000x + 1200000

In order to find the critical point we'll differentiate the following with respect to x;

R'(x) = -60000x + 180000

∵ R'(x) = 0

x = 3

Thus, the price per ticket that should be charged in order to maximize revenue is (24 - 3 $\times$ 3 = 24 - 9 = $15)

People that will attend at this price = (40000 + 10000 $\times$ 3) = 70000

The interest expenses = $145000

The question wants us to find time interest earned ratio. We get this by:

Company's initial income/interest expenses

= $575,000/$145,000

= 3.96

This is the correct answer to the question. The right answer was not listed in the options.

You are creating a portfolio of two stocks. The first one has a standard deviation of 20% and the second one has a standard devi

Drupady [299]

Answer:

23.56

Explanation:

Standard deviation of the first stock (σ1) = 20%

Standard deviation of the second stock (σ2) = 37%

The correlation coefficient between the returns (ρ) = 0.1.

Proportion invested in the first stock (W1) = 43%

Proportion invested in the second stock (W2) = 57%

The standard deviation of a two-stock portfolio's returns is given by

$\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{w_1^2\sigma_1^2+w_2^2\sigma_2^2+2w_1w_2\rho\sigma_1\sigma_2} \\\sigma_{portfolio} = \sqrt{0.43^2*0.2^2+0.57^2*0.37^2+2*0.43*0.57*0.1*0.2*0.37}\\\sigma_{portfolio} =0.2356=23.56\%$

The standard deviation of this portfolio's returns IS 23.56%
