Question 1. Case 2. Case 3.

Case 1.

b = a (d/c) = 19 ; d = (a b) c = $400,000; c = d / (a b) = 20,000;

f = d e = $80,000 f = d e = $80,000 e = d f = $85,000 e = d f = $688,000 f = d e = $50,000

Case 4. Case 5. Question 2.

d = (a b) c = $700,000; a = (d / c) + b = 11;

1. Note that in this part of the question the number of passengers carried on a trip is the driver Using the existing fleet, each additional trip imposes an incremental fixed cost of $2,906. Each passenger contributes 70 5.60 = $ 64.40. Thus the break-even number of passengers for the additional trip = 2,906 / 64.40 = 46 (rounded up). 2. In this part the number of trips flown (each with 135 seats, flying 2/3 full) is the driver Each trip contributes: (70 5.60) 135 2/3 2,906 = $ 2,890 The quarterly fixed cost of adding another plane to the fleet = $2,135,101 Thus the break even number of trips the new plane must fly per quarter = 2,135,101 / 2,890 = 739 (rounded up).
