The plane makes no other trip. The charge for the plane remaining in New York overnight is $ 1,200 and would be zero in Los Angeles. The airline is contemplating eliminating the night flight out of Los Angeles and replacing it with a morning flight. The estimated number of passengers is 70 in the morning flight and 50 in the return afternoon flight. The one-way ticket for any flight is $200. The operating cost of the plane for each flight is $11,000. The fixed costs for the plane are $3,000 per day whether it flies or not.

b) Should the airline remain in business?

In the evening flight, total passengers = 80 + 50 = 130
