SnowDream operates a rocky Mountain ski resort. The company is planning its lift tickets pricing for the oming ski season. Investors would like to earn a 16% return on the company $115 million of assets. The company incurs primarily fixed costs to be 35,600,00 for the ski season. The resort serves about 800,000 skiers and snowboarders each season. Variable costs are $8 per guest. The resort had such a favorable reputation among skiers and snowboarders that it had some control over the lift ticket price.

Assume that SnowDreams reputation has diminished and other resorts in the vicinity are charging only $64 per lift tickets. SnowDream has become a price-taker and wont be able to charge more than its competitors. At the market price, snowdream managers believe they will still serve 800,000 skiers and snowboarders each season.
