You work for Altuve Company and you have been asked to research the issues presented in the case and questions and to prepare a memo that addresses the issues and questions.

Altuve Company, an SEC registrant, is a construction company that manufactures commercial and residential buildings. On March 1, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with a customer, Judge Offices, to construct an office building for a fixed price of $3 million. The Company estimates that it will incur costs of $2 million to complete construction of the office building. The office building will only transfer to Judge Offices once the construction of the entire building is complete. In addition, Judge has various design requirements that would require Altuve to incur significant costs to rework the building prior to selling it to a customer other than Judge.

To construct the office building, Altuve acquires standard materials that it regularly uses in construction contracts for both residential and commercial buildings. These materials are used to manufacture generic component parts for inclusion in Judge Offices’ buildings. These standard materials remain interchangeable with other items until they are deployed in a Judge Offices building. The Company has made the following purchases and incurred the following costs throughout the construction progress:

• As of June 30, 2019, in total, Altuve has purchased $150,000 of component parts. As of June 30, 2019, $50,000 of component parts remain in inventory and $100,000 have been integrated into the project. Further, Altuve has incurred $25,000 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Judge Offices construction project during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

• During the three months ended September 30, 2019, Altuve purchased an additional $1,000,000 of component parts ($1,150,000 in total). Of the $1,150,000 of component parts, $350,000 remain in inventory and $600,000 have been integrated into the project during the three months ended September 30, 2019. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, Altuve incurred an additional $100,000 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Judge Offices construction project.

• As of September 30, 2019, Altuve determined that the project was over budget and revised its cost estimate from $2 million to $2.5 million.
• As of December 31 2019, the construction project was completed. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, Altuve purchased an additional $850,000 of generic component parts ($2 million in total). Of the $2 million component parts, $0 remain in inventory and $1,300,000 were integrated into the project during the three months ended December 31, 2019. Altuve has incurred $375,000 of direct costs to integrate the component parts into the Judge Offices construction project during the three months ended December 31, 2019.

If Judge Offices cancels the contract, Altuve will be entitled to reimbursement for costs incurred for work completed to date plus a margin of 20 percent, which is considered to be a reasonable margin. Altuve will not be reimbursed for any materials that have been purchased for use in the contract but have not yet been used and are still controlled by Altuve.

Disney raises theme park ticket prices, again. You've got to pay more to play in the Magic Kingdom, because Walt Disney just raised its ticket prices again, breaking the $100 mark. A one-day ticket to the Walt Disney World Resort's flagship theme park, the Magic Kingdom, now costs $105, up from $99. Prices had been jacked up by $4 just last year. The price of admission applies to anyone 10 years and older entering the Orlando-area theme park. Younger children, aged 3 to 9, pay $99 to enter the Magic Kingdom, compared to $94 last year. Prices also increased for the other Disney World theme parks -- EPCOT, the Animal Kingdom Park and Hollywood Studios -- to $97 for visitors aged 10 and older, compared to $94 last year. Children aged 3 to 10 now pay $91 for a single-day ticket to those parks, compared to $88 last year. The price hikes seem to be working for parent company Walt Disney World Resorts, which reported a 7% increase in revenue year-over-year, largely from its parks. "Increased guest spending was primarily due to higher average ticket prices for admissions at our theme parks," Walt Disney Company (DIS) said in a financial report. A Disney spokeswoman said the "vast majority" of visitors buy the multi-day passes, which can knock the price down to $96 per day for a two-day ticket, or $63 per day for a five-day ticket. She also said that a ticket for a single day at Walt Disney World buys 16 hours of entertainment.

1. What is the price of a one-day ticket to the Magic Kingdom?

2. Given the income elasticity of demand how do we know if a trip to Disney World is a normal good or an inferior good?

3. The news article tells us that with ticket prices rising, revenue is increasing. What does this tell us about the price elasticity of demand of a trip to Disney World?
