Almira is a famous KZ singer. She became extremely popular after her hit recording “Farewell, KIMEP!”

Gulshat, a former classmate, would like to organize Almira’s concert, and earn lots of money. Gulshat calls Almira, and asks whether Almira is willing to perform for KZT 500,000. The concert is to be on the 15^th of February, 2011 in Almaty.

Almira replies that she remembers Gulshat quite well, and Gulshat’s terms are ok with her, but she can perform only on the 16^th, not 15^th of February. Gulshat consented.

Gulshat starts to sell tickets for Almira’s concert at the price of USD 300 per ticket. She sells 1,569 tickets for the concert.

One day before the concert, Gulshat calls Almira, and asks if Almira is ready. Almira says that she has changed her mind, and she would like to go to Thailand instead as she needs rest, and Gulshat needs to give her a very good incentive (стимул) to stay and perform: “Five hundred thousand US dollars would be enough (USD 500,000)… and not a dime less (ни цента ниже).”
