Question

Tickets Now contracts with the producer of Riverdance to sell tickets online. Tickets Now charges each customer a fee of $4 per ticket and receives $10 per ticket from the producer. Tickets Now does not take control of the ticket inventory. Average ticket price for the event is $150. How much revenue should Tickets Now recognize for each Riverdance ticket sold?

Answer 1

Answer:

$14

Explanation:

Fee from customers = $4

Fee from producer = $10

Total Fee income received = 10+4 = $14

$14 should be recognized as income for each Riverdance ticket sold.

Ticket Now has sold the ticket (which is assumed to be nonrefundable) and it has performed what is required (to sale the tickets), so recognize the revenue of $14.
