Hi, I'm Rashid. I served in the Peace Corps as an Information and Communication Technology Volunteer in the southern African nat

ion of Namibia.
Namibia is a big country geographically, but in terms of population, it's very, very small. To put it in perspective, it has about one-fifth as many people as New Jersey, but it's 40 times larger. And, unlike New Jersey, it's very dry, and there are a lot of goats—a lot of goats.

One day, I was sitting in my house, in Namibia, reading a U.S. newspaper on my cell phone.

Oh, I should backtrack for a minute here. Yes, Africa has cell phones. In fact, every Peace Corps volunteer in Namibia has a cell phone, as well as every adult Namibian I knew, and most teenagers. Cell phone coverage reaches every major town in Namibia, and most of the minor ones, as well—even small villages.

And this isn't only Namibia. Cell phones are everywhere in Africa and even though one in four Africans has a cell phone, you rarely see anyone talking on them—you see, it's simply too expensive. Instead, everyone is text messaging. Text messaging, you see, is very cheap. For $10 U.S. dollars you can walk into a shop in Namibia, and walk out with a cell phone—not a very nice one, mind you, but a fully functional one—that has enough prepaid credit to send 100 text messages a day for three months.

Goods are complements if an increase in the price of one causes a __________ in the demand for the other
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer: decreases

Explanation: In simple words, complementary goods are those goods which have negative relation with each other in respect of price and demand. The usage of one good is dependent on other in case of complementary relation.

For example - Petrol and petrol car are complementary goods, if the price of petrol increases the demand for petrol cars will decrease.

Hence we can conclude that the right answer to the given problem is decrease.

The Pritzker Music Pavilion in downtown Chicago is a technologically sophisticated and uniquely designed performing arts venue t
jonny [76]

Answer:

a. What is the estimated contribution margin per ticket sold for the benefit concert?

contribution margin per ticket = ($15.50 + $2 + $17) - ($6 + $2.55 + $7) = $34.50 - $15.55 = $18.95

b. What are the estimated total fixed costs for the benefit concert?

total fixed costs = $21,000 + $85,000 = $106,000

c. What is the estimated profit from the benefit concert if 10,500 tickets are sold?

estimated profit = (10,500 x $18.95) - $106,000 = $92,975

d. How many tickets must be sold in order for concert profit to be $100,000?

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $100,000) / $18.95 = 10,870.71 ≈ 10,871 tickets sold

e. Assuming a tax rate of 31% on profits from the concert, what must dollar ticket sales be in order for after-tax concert profits to be $100,000?

$100,000 / (1 - 31%) = $144,927.54

number of tickets sold = ($106,000 + $144,927.54) / $18.95 = 13,241.56 ≈ 13,241.56 tickets sold

f. Assume that the organizers can negotiate the fixed payment for the pavilion's operating expenses. If the organizers expect to sell 10,500 tickets, how much can they afford to pay and still earn a profit of $100,000 (ignore taxes)?

contribution margin increases to $18.95 + $7 = $25.95

10,500 = ($21,000 + $100,000 + ?) / $25.95

$272,475 = $121,000 + ?

? = $151,475

you can pay up to $151,475 in fixed expenses to the pavilion
