Question 85 / 96:  Does the profit and loss system force movie theaters to stay open on Christmas? Explain.
Answer: 

No, the owners of theaters always have the ability to keep them

closed on holidays. Yet very few owners exercise this right,

because it is so profitable to have movies open on holidays. The

profit and loss system communicates to the owners how much

people want to watch movies on their holiday breaks.

Sample Partial Credit Answer

No, they can close down if they want to.
