The Greensboro Performing Arts Center (GPAC) has a total capacity of 8,400 seats: 2,400 center seats, 2,900 side seats, and 3,100 balcony seats. The budgeted and actual tickets sold for a Broadway musical show are as follows:
Percentage Occupied | |||||||||
Ticket Price | Budgeted Seats | Actual Seats | |||||||
Center | $ | 110 | 90 | % | 95 | % | |||
Side | 100 | 80 | 85 | ||||||
Balcony | 90 | 85 | 75 | ||||||
The actual ticket prices were the same as those budgeted. Once a show has been booked, the total cost does not vary with the total attendance.
Required:
Compute the following for the show:
1. The budgeted and actual sales mix percentages for different types of seats.
2. The budgeted average contribution margin per seat. Assume the ticket price is also the contribution margin.
