Exercise 19-4 (Part Level Submission)

Comfi Airways, Inc., a small two-plane passenger airline, has asked for your assistance in some basic analysis of its operations. Both planes seat 10 passengers each, and they fly commuters from Comfi’s base airport to the major city in the state, Metropolis. Each month, 40 round-trip flights are made. Shown below is a recent month’s activity in the form of a cost-volume-profit income statement.
Fare revenues (400 fares) $49,800 Variable costs     Fuel $18,282     Snacks and drinks 790     Landing fees 1,810     Supplies and forms 1,030 21,912 Contribution margin 27,888 Fixed costs     Depreciation 3,060     Salaries 12,570     Advertising 440     Airport hanger fees 1,570 17,640 Net income $10,248

Explanation / Answer

a) Contribution margin = 27888/49800 = 56%

Breakevne point in dollars = 17640/56% = 31500

Contribution margin per gare = 27888/400 = 69.72

Break even point in fare = 17640/69.72 = 253

b. Contribution at breakeven level = 253 x 69.72

= 17640

c.(1) Revised fare = 124.50 x 90% = 112.05

Variable cost = 54.78 x 120%

= 65.736

Revised contribution = 500 x (112.05 - 66.736)

= 22657

Net income = 35607 - 17640 =5017

(2) No, fare decrease should not be accepted.
