Question 7

Lofty Airlines has a flight for which the regular ticket price is $200 and the variable costs per passenger are $50. Fixed costs assigned to each flight are $12,000. Each flight has a capacity of 125 seats, with an average of 95 seats sold at the regular price. To attract customers to the last 30 unsold seats, Lofty discounts the tickets by 50% for standby passengers. The break-even number of regular-priced seats per flight is
A)50
B)80
C)95
D)120

Accepted Answer

The break-even point is where total revenue equals total costs. The fixed costs are $12,000, and the variable cost per passenger is $50. At the regular price of $200, the revenue per passenger is $200 - $50 (variable cost) = $150 contribution margin per passenger. To cover the $12,000 of fixed costs, $12,000 / $150 = 80 regular-priced seats need to be sold to break even.

Without specific numbers provided in the question, the correct answer is based on the understanding of how to calculate markup percentage on total cost, which is represented by option B, 22.6%. This suggests that the given information in the question (not provided here) leads to a calculation that results in a 22.6% markup on total cost.

Question 19
