Answer:
b. 20
Explanation:
For 5 flights per month
Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee
Total Cost = (5 X 10000) + 20,000 = $70,000
For 6 flights per month
Total Cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost
Total Cost = Fuel, crew, and airplane maintenance cost + Airport fee
Total Cost = (6 X 10000) + 20,000 = $80,000
Additional Cost for 6th flight = $80000-70,000 = $10,000
Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = Additional cost / Ticket price per seat
Minimum No. of Passenger to cover the cost = $10,000 / $500 = 20 seats passengers.
