    C) $31 because both the fee from the customer and the Blue Man Group producer are earned

    Explanation:

    The reason is that the total revenue Ticketmaster has to record each time a ticket is sold by it is $31.

    As it broken down in the question, the implication is that the $31 will reported in the account of Ticketmaster in two ways as follows:

    1. $9 will be received in cash and it will have to be debited to cash account.

    2. $22 is an account receivable and it will have to be reported as a receivable from the Blue Man Group producers.

    Therefore, the correct option is C) $31 because both the fee from the customer and the Blue Man Group producer are earned.
