Answer:
(i) Revenue function R(x) = 15x -
(ii) Range of x = (0, 36000]
(iii) Maximum revenue will be at x = 22500
(iv) When the revenue is maximum, the price of the ticket must be Rs. 7.50
(v) 22500 spectators must be present to maximize the revenue.
Step-by-step explanation:
Maximum capacity = 36000
Ticket price = Rs. 10
Average attendees = 24000
Price of the ticket = 15 - x is the no. of tickets sold
(i) Revenue function R(x) = Selling price * Quantity
= (15 - ) * x
= 15x -
Therefore, R(x) = 15x -
(ii) Range of x =
Since maximum capacity is 36000, the upper limit is 36000
As 24000 is the average attendance,
The minimum value of x can be 0, the lower limit is 0.
Therefore, range = (0, 36000]
(iii) R(x) = 15x -
=> R'(x) = 15 - * 2x
putting R'(x) = 0
15 - * 2x = 0
=> 15 =
=> x = 22500
R''(x) = 0 - * 2 < 0 Therefore, maximum at x = 22500
Therefore, maximum revenue will be at x = 22500
(iv) We know that Price of the ticket = 15 - x is the no. of tickets sold
if x = 22500, the price of the ticket will be 15 -
= 15 - 7.5
= 7.5
Therefore, when the revenue is maximum, the price of the ticket must be Rs. 7.50
(v) For maximum revenue, we have already proved that x = 22500
where x is the no. of tickets sold = no. of spectators.
Therefore, 22500 spectators must be present to maximize the revenue.
