    a). The maximum revenue for the owner of the yacht will only be possible at maximum capacity, when total number of passengers=90

    b). Total maximum revenue=$42,400

    c). The fare per passenger=$471

    Explanation:

    a). The maximum revenue for the owner of the yacht will only be possible at maximum capacity, when total number of passengers=90

    b). Total maximum revenue

    Total revenue=Chargers per person for the first 20+Total amount for additional people

    where;

    Charges per person for the first 20 = (552*20) = 11,040 per day

    A discount of $4 for additional persons = (552-4) = 448 per day for all additional persons

    Additional people = (90-20) = 70

    Total amount for the additional people = (448*70) = 31,360 per day

    Replacing;

    Total revenue = (11,040+31,360) = $42,400

    Total maximum revenue=$42,400

    c). Fare per passenger

    Fare per passenger=Total maximum revenue/total number of passengers

    where;

    Total maximum revenue=$42,400

    Total number of passengers=90

    replacing;

    Fare per passenger=42,400/90=471.11 to nearest dollar=$471

    The fare per passenger=$471
