a) For an upcoming red carpet evening, a company is selling tickets at $60 per person at a large theatre which has a capacity of 10,000 people. Each attendant is expected to buy $12 of food and merchandise at the film evening. The cost of providing the food and merchandise is estimated to be $5 per person. All other ancillary services will be provided by the theatre. Initial analysis indicates that the ancillary cost of providing food and merchandise, as well as the staff needed to handle ticket sales, may be described as a semi-variable cost. Data on these costs and tickets sold from three similar events held at the venue have been collected and are tabulated below:
Tickets Sold

Use the high-low method to estimate the total cost function relating to these ancillary costs.

- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item.

Although its flagship operating system ‘Meadow’ is still dominating in the PC market, the burgeoning of tablets and smartphones in recent years has been chewing up the PC market.
