Q7 b) Entertain U is bit tricky & most of the students are getting different different answers
According to me the answer should be (I may be wrong)
Assured Revenue = (9600 + 39600 + 10800 + 9000) = 69000
Committed Cost = (71000 + 14000 + 7400 + 6600) = 99000
So the cost to be recovered for break even = 30000
**** 6600 cost = Snacks for assured 330 guest
Option 1 (Tickets to be sold in ratio of 1:3:1 to recover 30,000)
Since 20 Rs is variable cost for snacks,net benefit will be 300, 200 & 100
Thus by selling VIP = 30 tickets / Mid = 90 tickets / Last = 30 tickets
Company will recover 30,000 and will breakeven.
Category wise occupancy at break even
VIP = 90
Mid = 270
Last = 120
Option II (Tickets to be sold in ration of 2:2:5 to recover 30,000)
Again, since 20 Rs is variable cost for snacks,net benefit will be 300, 200 & 100
To follow & maintain the ratio allotment to be done in 3 steps
I allotment in ratio = VIP 30 / Mid 30 / Last 75 (1st row fully sold)
II allotment in ratio = VIP 0 / Mid 6 / Last 15 (3rd row fully sold)
III allotwent in ratio = VIP 0 / Mid 24 / Last 0
To recover 30,000 addtional ticket sold = VIP 30 / Mid 60 / Last 90
Category wise occupancy at break even
VIP = 90
Mid = 240
Last = 180
