Answer:

a. Compute the break-even number of seats sold on a single round-trip flight for the overall product. Assume that the overall product is 10% business class and 90% economy class tickets.

  • 90 tickets

b. How many business class and economy class seats would be sold at the break-even point?

  • business class = 9 tickets
  • economy class = 81 tickets

Explanation:

Fixed costs:

  • Fuel $11,506
  • Flight crew salaries $8,813
  • Airplane depreciation $4,161
  • Total $24,480

Variable costs:

  • Variable cost per passenger - business class 45
  • Variable cost per passenger - economy class 35

Contribution margin:

  • Business class ticket = $515 - $45 = $470
  • Economy class ticket = $285 - $55 = $250

Weighted average contribution margin:

  • (10% x $470) + (90% x $250) = $272

break even point in units = $24,480 / $272 = 90 seats

business class = 90 x 10% = 9 seats

economy class = 90 x 90% = 81 seats

Most plants want to have their supplies delivered just before they are needed to be used in production
vovangra [49]

Answer:

  True

Explanation:

The modern notion of "just in time" material delivery supports reduction of inventory and its associated costs. Plants that have sufficiently steady raw material usage will prefer supplies delivered "just in time."

Plants that have wildly varying production schedules or product mix may prefer a generous "safety stock." They may also prefer a generous supply inventory if their supply chain is unreliable.

It is true that most plants <em>want</em> to have supplies delivered just in time, but circumstances may make needs differ from wants.
