Answer 1

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

To calculate the number of shows to achieve a certain amount of profit you need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + profit)/contribution margin ratio

contribution margin ratio= (price - unitary variable costs)/price

For the number of shows, divide the Break-even point (dollars) by the selling price
