Explanation / Answer

2.Total reservartion costs=13000+(3*200,000)

=$613000

3.Contrinution margin=(Sales-Variable costs)

=(75-45)=$30/passenger

Contribution margin ratio=Contribution margin/Sales

=(30/75)=40%(B)

4.

Contribution margin=(75-45)=$30

Hence breakeven=Fixed costs/Contribution margin

=(90,000/30)=3000 passengers
