The charge for the plane remaining in NY overnight is $1,200 and would be zero in LA. The airline is contemplating eliminating the night flight out of LA and replacing it with a morning flight. The estimated number of passengers is 70 in the morning 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.

b)Should the airline remain in business?
