Section - E Case study based questions are compulsory.
36. Optimal Pricing Strategy : The director of the National School of Drama must decide what to charge for a ticket to the comedy drama. If the price is set too low, the theatre will lose money; and if the price is too high, people won’t come. From past experience she estimates that the profit P from sales (in hundreds) can be approximated by P (x) =− x2 + 22x − 40 where x is the cost of a ticket and 0 # x # 25 hundred rupees.
(i) What is the lowest cost of a ticket that would allow the theatre to break even? What is the highest cost that the theatre can charge to break even? (ii) If theatre charge Rs 4 hundred for each ticket, what is the profit/loss ? (iii) If theatre charge Rs 25 hundred for each ticket, what is the profit/loss ? (iv) What is the maximum profit which can be earned by theatre ?
