11
![Suppose that the number of seats at Bill Snyder Family Stadium is 50,000.
S MAX 50 in this case. Q is always expressed in thousands of tickets.
-
All of the costs associated with having people come to the game are fixed costs. SO MC = 0
The inverse demand function for tickets to the upcoming game is as follows.
D (P) = 80 - Q
and the Marginal Revenue Function is as follows
MR = 80 - 2 Q
What price will K-State charge if they are behaving the way a profit-maximizing (unregulated)
monopoly is expected to behave?
(I will show you how to calculate profit during class. We will assume K-State has fixed costs of
$400,000 per game but if you do this right we will profit $1.2 M)
O $80
O $60
O $120
O $0
