T. Boone Pickens football stadium at Oklahoma State University has a seating capacity of about 40,000. Assume the stadium sells out all six home games before the season begins and the athletic department collects $31 million in ticket sales.

Required:
a. What was the average price per season ticket and average price per individual game ticket sold?
b. Record the advance collection of $29 million in ticket sales.
c. Record the revenue earned after the first home game was completed.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Total collection of ticket sales is $31 million

Seating capacity is 40,000 tickets

Average price per season ticket = Total collection / Seating capacity

=$31,000,000 / 40,000

=$775

Therefore, the average price per season ticket is $775

Average price per individual game ticket sold = Average price per ticket / Number of games

= 775 / 6

= $129

Therefore, the average price per individual game sold is $129 and the number of games is 6
