Answer:

Explanation:

a) To maximise profit, we would charge a price of 7 for adults and a price of 4 for children.

Profit would be = 7 x 300 + 4 x 200

Profit = 2900

This is the maximum profit other than fixed cost

b) If we have to keep one price of the ticket, then it would be 7. This would yeild a profit of 2100

c) From the law, the adults dont get any benefit, rather the children are in best position of free ticket

d) Fixed cost wont effect the answers above as long as the price and numbers of participants wont change

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Generally speaking, demographic growth can affect the economy quite a lot, but the economy has a very little effect on demographic growth. E.g. the baby boomers were great for the economy during several decades, but there is no clear relationship between population growth and economic activity.

This means that companies like home builders whose demand depends on other factors besides the economy, will be less affected by economic recessions or expansions. E.g. the demographic growth in America was around 0.7% during 2019 and the economy was growing that year.

Actually, the US population has been declining over the last decades. The real growth factor in population has been immigration in the last decades, and that has also been declining lately.
