a. Compute the break-even number of seats sold on a single round-trip flight for the overall product, E. Assume that the overall product mix is 10% business class and 90% economy class tickets.
Total number of seats at break-even seats ____???
b. How many business class and economy class seats would be sold at the break-even point?
Business class seats at break-even seats ____???
Economy class seats at break-even seats ____???
FIXED COST = Fuel + Flight crew salaries +Airplane depreciation
= 7000 + 3200 + 3480
= 13680
Contribution = round trip ticket price – variable cost per passenger
Business class= 800 – 140 = 660
Economy class = 300 – 120 = 180
Product mix = 10% business class and 90% economy class tickets
Overall contribution= 660 *0.10 + 180 * 0.90 = 228
Contribution margin = 228/350*100 = 65
Total number of seats at break-even seats = 13680/228 = 60
b. Business class and economy class seats would be sold at the break-even point
Business class seats at break-even seats = 60* 0.10 = 6
Economy class seats at break-even seats = 60* 0.9 = 54
