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.

Answer: Train managers to use the appraisal process.
Explanation:
An appraisal system is a reward system, which sets to evaluate the progress of staff, and either promote them or demote them based on their performance. It is important to consider avoiding sentiment when doing this, as it would ruin the effots of the staff and affect work flow. It is advisable that managers should stick to the appraisal methods, and avoid any form of bias that may set in, the best way would be to train managers before appraisal, and carry out a test on them, to know their sense of judgement.
