a. Contribution margin per passenger = $40

b. Contribution margin ratio = 50%

c. Operating Income = $160,000

d. Operating Income = $27,500

Explanation:

a. Contribution margin per passenger= Ticket price per passenger - Variable cost per passenger

Contribution margin per passenger = $80 - $40

Contribution margin per passenger = $40

b. Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per passenger / Ticket price per passenger

Contribution margin ratio = $40 / $80

Contribution margin ratio = 0.5

Contribution margin ratio = 50%

c. Contribution margin per passenger= $40

Sales (in units)       = 13,000 Passengers

Total Contribution = $520,000

Fixed Costs           = $360,000

Operating Income = $160,000

d. Sales revenue = $775,000

Contribution margin ratio = 50%

Total Contribution=$387,500 ($775,000 * 50%)

Fixed Costs           = $360,000

Operating Income = $27,500
