Planet Airways has been given a 5-year license to start a budget airline between Stardust and Sundown. This service requires two planes which cost $6.5 million each, payable in one year’s time. Each aircraft will make one daily return trip, allowing for 350 flyable days per year. The remaining days of the year will be used to service the planes. The capacity of each plane is 200 passengers and the price per ticket is $550 per return trip. The average passenger load is 80 percent. The carrier’s office building will cost $26 million. Half of this amount is payable now and the balance is to be paid in a year’s time. The aircrafts and the building can be depreciated, for tax purposes, at the rate of 10% per annum of the initial cost. At the end of five years, the salvage values of the planes and the building are $2.6 million per plane and $7.8 million respectively.The operational costs will be $16,000 per one way trip (per flying day) and $6,000 per non-flying day, for each plane.

The manager of a tourist attraction is considering whether to open on 1 January, a day when the attraction has, in previous years, been closed. The attraction has a daily capacity of 1,000 visitors. If the attraction opens for business on that day it will incur additional specific fixed costs of $30,000. The contribution from the sale of tickets would be $25 per visitor. The number of visitors is uncertain but based on past experience it is expected to be as follows: Number of Visitors Probability 800 visitors 50% 900 visitors 30% 1,000 visitors 20% It is expected that visitors will also purchase souvenirs and refreshments. The contribution which would be made from these sales has been estimated as follows: Spending per Visitors Probability $8 per visitor 35% $10 per visitor 40% $12 per visitor 25% Required: Calculate whether it is worthwhile opening the tourist attraction on 1 January. You should use expected value as the basis…
