Jefferson City has invited an orchestra to play in the city's museum. Your job is to calculate the cost of an individual ticket in order for the city to break even on sales. The city estimates that their total fixed costs are $300,000. The variable cost is $20 per ticket. (a) If the city sets the price of the ticket at $75, how many tickets does the city need to sell in order to break even? (b) If the city sets the price of the tickets at $50, how many tickets does the city need to sell in order to break even? Use Formula: P = FC + Qx UVC / Q

The Waterloo Region Municipality plans to spend $272,500,000 for the installation of a light rail train service. Annual Maintenance and Operating costs are estimated at $3,025,000 per year. The installation of the light rail train service will reduce laneways for cars, reduce the number of parking spots, and disrupt local businesses during the construction phase. As a result, the dis-benefits of the light rail train service is estimated to be $1, 397, 500 per year. The lifetime of the rail service is indefinite and the cost of borrowing money for the Waterloo Region Municipality is 3.00% per year. What is the minimum annual benefit that the light rail train service must achieve in order to be a project worth pursuing?

A large land-grant university that is currently facing severe parking problems on its campus is considering constructing parking decks off campus. A shuttle service could pick up students at the off campus parking deck and transport them to various locations on campus. The university would charge a small fee for each shuttle ride, and the students could be quickly and economically transported to their classes. The funds raised by the shuttle would be used to pay for trolleys, which cost about $170,000 each. Each trolley has a 12-year service life, with an estimated salvage value of $12,000. To operate each trolley, additional expenses will be incurred, as given in the table below. If students pay 10 cents for each ride, determine the annual ridership per trolley (number of shuttle rides per year) required to justify the shuttle project, assuming an interest rate of 6%.

Suppose the extra cost for a municipality to enact a "no texting while driving" law is $15,000 per year. Then, the municipality should enact the law if it receives a total benefit from all of its traffic laws of $15,000 per year. A) True B) False
A municipality plans to build a new roadway that will decrease the amount of time it takes commuters to get from the South end of the city to the North end. The cost to construct the roadway is $13,900,000 It is estimated that the increased efficiency for commuters has a value of $2.11 per car, per day as a result of the decreased operating costs and less time commuting. The new roadway will be adjacent to a large forest. As a result, there is an expectation that there will be an increase of 12 chipmunk-car collisions each year at an estimated cost of $19,528 per collision. The new roadway will have maintenance requirements that will cost $260,800 per year. The life of the new roadway is 45 years and the discount rate is 5.00% What is the minimum average number of cars per day that must use the new roadway in order for the project to be worthwhile?
Seattle Transit Ltd. operates a local mass transit system. The transit authority is a state governmental agency. It has an agreement with the state government to provide rides to senior citizens for 67 cents per trip. The government will reimburse Seattle Transit for the “cost” of each trip taken by a senior citizen. The regular fare is $3.70 per trip. After analyzing its costs, Seattle Transit figured that, with its operating deficit, the full cost of each ride on the transit system is $5.70. Routes, capacity, and operating costs are unaffected by the number of senior citizens on any route. Required: b. Which price would Seattle Transit prefer? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) c. Which price would the state government prefer? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) d. If Seattle Transit provides an average of 167,000 trips for senior citizens in a given month, what is the monthly value of the difference between the prices in full capacity?
