A semiprofessional baseball team near your town plays two home games each month at the local baseball park. The team splits the concessions 50/50 with the city but keeps all the revenue from ticket sales. The city charges the team $100 each month for the three-month season. The team pays the players and manager a total of $1000 each month. The team charges $10 for each ticket, and the average customer spends $8 at the concession stand. Attendance averages 30 people at each home game.
The team earns $_________in revenue for each game and $_________ revenue each season. With total costs of $_________ each season, the team finishes the season with $_________ of profit.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The revenue earned by team for each game is

= $10 + 50% of $8

= $10 + 4

= $14

Now the revenue for each session is

= $14 × 30 PEOPLE × 6 games

= $2,520

The total cost would be

= $100 × 3 + $1,000 × 3

= $300 + $3,000

= $3,300

And, the team would finished the season for profit of

= Revenue - cost

= $2,520 - $3,300

= $780 loss
