Test attendance and an accessible price mix
See this course’s project requirements
An event finance packet with classified costs, ticket break-even, price scenarios, deposit timing, refund stress and actual reconciliation.
Keep your working files in your own notebook or software. Save a private description, checklist, and work link in My Proof.
What to include
- A classified event budget and paid-ticket capacity limit.
- A verified whole-ticket break-even calculation with a capacity check. An attendance scenario table and a funded reduced-price ticket mix.
- A deposit schedule with a quantified cash gap and commitment condition.
- A refund stress test with retained receipts and committed costs reconciled.
- A reconciled event finance packet and a supported next-event recommendation.
Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Calculations reconcile to the supplied records, with units and dates labeled.
- Assumptions and missing information are visible, including the changed scenario.
- The recommendation follows the evidence and explains an important limitation.
- The six lesson outputs form a usable handoff that another learner can check.

The idea in everyday life
Reset to Lantern at standard tickets $15, variable cost $3 per paid ticket, fixed budget provision $720 and confirmed sponsorship $200. Test 30, 60 and 90 paid guests. Then, separately, test 60 paid guests consisting of 40 standard $15 tickets and 20 reduced-price $10 tickets. Capacity still includes ten complimentary guests.
Attendance and ticket mix change the budget result. Show a lower-demand case and keep reduced-price places explicit.
Test attendance and an accessible price mix — worked practice
Attendance and ticket mix change the budget result. Show a lower-demand case and keep reduced-price places explicit.
Reset to Lantern at standard tickets $15, variable cost $3 per paid ticket, fixed budget provision $720 and confirmed sponsorship $200. Test 30, 60 and 90 paid guests. Then, separately, test 60 paid guests consisting of 40 standard $15 tickets and 20 reduced-price $10 tickets. Capacity still includes ten complimentary guests.
1. Calculate attendance cases
Use paid tickets × 15 + 200 − (720 + paid tickets × 3).
You should see: Budget results for 30, 60 and 90 paid guests are −$160, $200 and $560.
These scenarios are possibilities, not forecasts of guaranteed demand.
2. Calculate mixed-price revenue
Multiply 40 by $15 and 20 by $10.
You should see: Mixed ticket revenue is $800.
Do not price all 60 tickets at the standard rate.
3. Keep costs consistent
Calculate $720 + 60 × $3 and add sponsorship to receipts.
You should see: Total budget provision is $900; mixed receipts are $1000; balance is $100.
Discounts change revenue; the supplied variable cost remains $3.
4. Compare choices
Record that the reduced-price plan gives up $100 of the standard 60-ticket balance.
You should see: The 20 reduced-price places fit this case while preserving a $100 balance after the reserve provision.
Affordability is a design choice that needs visible funding.
What to finish
An attendance scenario table and a funded reduced-price ticket mix.
Watch for this
Calling the highest attendance case the expected result without evidence.
How can I tell I understand it?
Explain your calculation or classification and reproduce the changed case without copying the worked result.
