Answer:

since the EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs is $60,247.96, then that would be the highest possible amount that the company could pay for leasing and boarding if it wants to break even.

Explanation:

Since the company expects to sell 7,054 tickets per month:

  • I will assume 60% are sold by brokers = 7,054 x 60% =  4,232 tickets

*the question stated that brokers sold 65% of the tickets and the company 40%, but that is above 100%

total monthly revenue = 7,054 x $18 = $126,972

municipal fee 17% of revenue = $317,430 x 17% = ($21,585.24‬)

cost of souvenir per passenger $0.50 = 7,054 x $0.50 = ($3,527)

carriage drivers wage = 7,054 x $2.90 = ($20,456.60)

monthly payroll = ($8,500)

monthly fixed costs = ($8,000)

brokerage fees = 4,232 x $1.10 = ($4,655.20)

EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs = $60,247.96

since the EBIT without monthly leasing and boarding costs is $60,247.96, then that would be the highest possible amount that the company could pay for leasing and boarding if it wants to break even.
