Divide that by the number of members and you might get a rough estimate.

So this is roughly $45,000x0.40/1800 = approx $10 ... if we only include paying members this is more like $13

Because of the nature of our contract with the administrator, we might actually have to owe them 50% of any memberships given away if we exceed our contracted number of members, unless we had a special agreement.
I may not be reading between the lines properly, but it seems like the idea of giving free 1 year memberships to CMA nationals contestants is a non-starter. There wouldn't be much point in giving them to such contestants at a discount (e.g. at $13) instead, I suppose.
