We have the income and cost information, and can solve for price using the concept:
Revenue - Cost = Profit
Cost = 500 + 10 * 80
Profit = 200
2 B
Pmargin = ( R — C)/R
C = R * (1 — Pmargin)
3 D
The total number of beer trucks can carry in 24 hours is 80,000. Vans have to carry
the other 20,000, which means that the company needs 10 vans (each can carry
1,000 beers twice in 24 hours). Since there are 10 vans and 10 trucks, 10*24*
(50+30) =19,200 USD

Probabilities of passing each stage are 50%, 38% or 40% and 70% respectively.
P = 0.5*(0.38+0.4)/2*0.7 = 0.1365.

First, establish the number of customers (X) required to break even, such that:
[Tax computed on theatre ticket price, and % share with artists on the average ticket
