Michael Antonucci, Inc., owns a movie theater that has a seating capacity of 400.
The price of one ticket is $3. The theater is open 52 weeks a year, and attendance averages 4,200 a week.
Variable costs are $0.75 per person, and fixed annual costs are $131,040. Because consumer demand is far more than 400 seats for some movies, Antonucci is considering expanding the seating capacity to 600 for an additional annual fixed cost of $29,160. Variable costs per person will remain constant.

How much does average attendance have to increase to warrant the expansion if management wishes to maintain the same profit margin on sales? Show your calculations.
