Answer:

The price per ticket should be $37.5

Explanation:

First we need to determine the change in demand (attendance) as a result of every $1 increase in the price of ticket.

The ticket price increased by $4 (from 50 to 54) and the demand fell by 400 (from 2500 to 2100). The change per dollar is,  400 / 4 = 100.

So, for every $1 increase in price, demand falls by 100.

The revenue is calculated by multiplying price by quantity demanded. Revenue equation will be,

Let x be the change in price from $50.

Revenue = (50 + x)  * (2500 - 100x)

Revenue = 125000 - 5000x + 2500x - 100x²

Revenue = 125000 - 2500x - 100x²

To calculate the price that maximizes the revenue, we need to take the derivative of this equation.

d/dx = 0 - 1 * 2500x° - 2 * 100x

0 = -2500  -  200x

2500 = -200x

2500 / -200 = x

-12.5 = x

Price should be 50 - 12.5 = 37.5

At price $37.5 the revenue of the Opera House is maximized.

D1 is  

D1= 2.25 (1+0.05)

The cost of common equity is  

Rs = 2.36/ 22.00 + 5% =0.157= 15.7%

The cost of common equity is weighted average cost of capital (WACC)  

WACC = (0.35) * (0.08) (1- 0.40) + 0 preferred stock+ (0.35) * (0.157)

Profit from premium= 17 * 100

Profit from premium= $1,700

Profit on investment= Profit from call option - Profit from premium

Profit on investment = 1,100 - 1,700 = -$600
