Break-Even, "What If" [LO 3] Michael Bordellet is the owner/pilot of Bordellet Air Service. The company flies a daily round trip from Seattle's Lake Union to a resort in Canada. In 2010, the company reported an annual income before taxes of $8,084 although that included a deduction of $70,000 reflecting Michael's "salary."

Revenue ($360 × 1,248 passengers) $449,280
Less costs: Pilot (owner's salary) $ 70,000
Fuel (35,657 gallons × $4.15) 147,977

Depreciation of plane 25,000
Depreciation of office equipment 2,800
Rent expense 40,000
Insurance 20,000
Miscellaneous (fixed) 7,500 = 441,197
Income before taxes $ 8,083

Revenue of $449,280 reflects six round trips per week for 52 weeks with an average of four passengers paying $360 each per round trip (6 × 52 × 4 × $360 = $449,280). The flight to the resort is 400 miles one way. With 312 round trips (6 per week × 52 weeks), that amounts to 249,600 miles. The plane averages 7 miles per gallon.
