Question 4 1 pts The town council of Frostbite, Ontario, is trying to decide whether to build an outdoor skating rink which would cost $1.2 million and last for only one season. Operating costs would be zero. Yearly passes would be sold to anyone who wanted to use the rink. If p is the price of the pass in dollars, the number demanded would be q = 1600 - 0.5p. The council has asked you to advise them on building the rink. You should tell them that O revenues won't cover construction costs at any ticket price. There is no way to increase total consumer surplus by building the rink. O if the rink is built and price is set to maximize profits, the town makes a profit and consumers will be better off. O if the rink is built and price is set to maximize profits, the town makes a profit but consumers are worse off than without a rink. Othere is no price at which ticket revenues cover costs but the total consumer surplus from the rink exceeds costs. O None of the above.
