According to the Air Transport Association of America, the average operating cost of an MD-80 jet airliner is $2,270 per hour. Suppose the operating costs of an MD-80 jet airliner are normally distributed with a standard deviation of $178 per hour. (Round the value of z to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.25., Round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.31.) (a) At what operating cost would only 23% of the operating costs be less? (b) At what operating cost would 65% of the operating costs be more? (c) What operating cost would be more than 85% of operating costs?

Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 93,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 9.2 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 62,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 9.9 cents per kilometer. Required: 1. Using the high-low method, estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost associated with the fleet of trucks. 2. Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. 3. If a truck were driven 77,500 kilometers during a year, what total operating cost would you expect to be incurred?

Isaiah Company uses a regression equation to analyze the behavior of its transportation costs (T) as function of travel time (H). They developed the following equation using two years' observation with a related coefficient of 85: T = 100,000 + P50HIf 500 hours of travel time were logged in one period, the related point estimate of total transportation costs would be __________ 121,250 106,250 125,000 110,000
Analyze Pacific Airways Pacific Airways provides air travel services between Los Angeles and Seattle. Cost information per flight is as follows: Each flight has a capacity of 150 seats, with an average of 125 seats sold per flight at an average ticket price of 180. Assume Pacific Airways is considering a new service that would provide tickets at half price. Passengers would need to fly standby to receive the discount, but would be provided a flight for a given day of travel. An analysis revealed that an average of 8 existing passengers would use the new discounted tickets for travel. In addition, 15 new passengers would be attracted to the offer. a. Determine the contribution margin per passenger for the full-priced ticket. b. Determine the break-even number of seats sold per flight. c. Determine the contribution margin per passenger for discounted tickets. d. Should Pacific Airways offer the discounted ticket plan? Answer the question by computing the incremental contribution margin per flight for the plan.
