This question builds on your work from B-1. Competition is fierce for the Chicago to Atlanta route, and the airline realizes that it may need to reduce the current ticket price. They ask you to provide projections for number of reservations, number of denied passenger check ins (due to overbooking), penalties, sales, net income, and profit margin for this route at different ticket prices. The average number of reservations for this route is 184 when the ticket price is $420, use those figures as a base for your calculations. The airline conducted a price sensitivity analysis and determined that for every $20 increase in ticket price, demand will decrease by 1 ticket reservation. Similarly, ticket sales will increase by 1 reservation for every $20 decrease in ticket price. Using an appropriate data table, calculate the number of reservations, number of passengers denied check ins (due to overbooking), total penalties, total sales, net income, and profit margin (as a percentage) for…
Basic Sampling. You are employed by Northeast Airlines and have been asked to determinethe rate of on-time arrivals for competing airlines at a proposed hub location. Northeast isknown for its outstanding customer service and constantly ranks in the top three among allairlines in on-time arrivals with an average rate of 82 percent of all flights.Because it would be a new entrant in this particular airport, Northeast does not believe itcan compete unless its on-time arrival rate can surpass that of the airlines currently serving thishub. Because each of the four major competitors has hundreds of flights arriving at the hub ona daily basis, you are considering the use of sampling to estimate an on-time arrival rate.Required:a. Define sampling. What are the primary advantages and primary disadvantages of usingsampling in this application?b. Briefly describe how you would identify the population of flights from which you intendto sample.c. Define sampling risk and nonsampling risk. Provide…
Suppose that a sales force has found 20 qualified buyers and has begun the salesprocess. The sales manager estimates that 10% eventually proceeds to make a purchase.Assume that a professional company offers three services, priced at $2,000, $7,000 and$20,000, respectively. Based on past results or the sales manager’s estimates, you projectthat 60% of first-time buyers will choose the cheapest option, 30% will choose the middleoption and 10% will choose the most expensive option. b. How many qualified buyers must be found in order for the company to generate $80,000 in sales in a given period? Your final answer must be rounded to the nearest wholenumber.
The International Air Transport Association surveys business travelers to develop quality ratings for transatlantic gateway airports. The maximum possible rating is 10. Suppose a simple random sample of 50 business travelers is selected and each traveler is asked to provide a rating for the Miami International Airport.

Stubs-R-Us is a local event ticket broker. Last year, the company sold 760,000 tickets with an average commission of $10. Because of the general economic climate, Stubs expects ticket volume to decline by 20 percent. In addition, employees at a local insurance company headquarters accounted for 5 percent of Stubs’ volume. The headquarters relocated to another state and all the employees closed their accounts. Offsetting these factors is the observation that the average commission per sale is likely to increase by 15 percent because the average ticket prices are expected to be larger in the coming year. Required: Estimate commission revenues for Stubs-R-Us for the coming year.

You are the revenue manager for the UCF athletic department. The ticket sale model that is used to price UCF football tickets is a dynamic pricing model, which means ticket prices adjust to supply and demand. Your group ticket manager contacts you and says that he has a large group that is requesting a group rate for 50 tickets for 3 games (150 total). Traditionally, the tickets that the group is requesting would sell for $100 each. You know that you could sell 70 tickets but cannot be sure about the other 80 seats. This means that the displaced contribution would have be $5,600 (70 x $80). The group will make other revenue contributions by spending $1,500 in concessions. Thus, making the total displacement contribution needed $4,100. The variable cost on each ticket is $20. What is the minimum price you could sell these tickets for? Contribution Margin = Ticket price - Variable costs O $100 O None of these answers are correct O $50.01 O $10.99 O $27.33

The members of the city cultural center have decided to put on a play once a night for a week. Their auditorium holds 600 people.
