- 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?

This customer has requested an order for 20,000 dozen golf balls at a price of 22 per dozen. The variable cost to manufacture a dozen golf balls is 18 per dozen. The full cost is 25 per dozen. Varden has a normal selling price of 35 per dozen. Vardens plant has just enough excess capacity on the second shift to make the overseas order. What are some considerations in accepting or rejecting this order?arrow_forwardMyrtle Air Express decided to offer direct service from Cleveland to Myrtle Beach. Management must decide between a full-price service using the companys new fleet of jet aircraft and a discount service using smaller-capacity commuter planes. It is clear that the best choice depends on the market reaction to the service Myrtle Air offers. Management developed estimates of the contribution to profit for each type of service based on two possible levels of demand for service to Myrtle Beach: strong and weak. The following table shows the estimated quarterly profits (in thousands of dollars): a. What is the decision to be made, what is the chance event, and what is the consequence for this problem? How many decision alternatives are there? How many outcomes are there for the chance event? b. If nothing is known about the probabilities of the chance outcomes, what is the recommended decision using the optimistic, conservative, and minimax regret approaches? c. Suppose that management of Myrtle Air Express believes that the probability of strong demand is 0.7 and the probability of weak demand is 0.3. Use the expected value approach to determine an optimal decision. d. Suppose that the probability of strong demand is 0.8 and the probability of weak demand is 0.2. What is the optimal decision using the expected value approach? e. Use sensitivity analysis to determine the range of demand probabilities for which each of the decision alternatives has the largest expected value.arrow_forward

Each of its 10 helicopters makes between 1,000 and 2,000 round-trips per year. The records indicate that a helicopter that has made 1,000 round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of $350 per round-trip, and one that has made 2,000 round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of $300 per round-trip. Using the high-low method, estimate the linear relationship y = a + bX , where y is the total annual operating cost of a helicopter and X is the number of round-trips it makes to JFK airport during the year. Give examples of costs that would be included in a and in b . 3.
