Kirby Airlines is a small airline that occasionally carries overload shipment for the overnight delivery company Never-Fail Inc. Never Fail is a multimillion dollar company started by Jack Never immediately after he failed to finish his first accounting course. The company's motto is "We Never-Fail to Deliver Your package on Time." When Never-Fail has more freight than it can deliver, it pays Kirby to carry the excess. Kirby contracts with independent pilots to fly its planes on a per trip basis. Kirby recently purchased an airplane that cost the company $5,500,000. The plane has an estimated useful life of 25,000,000 miles and a zero salvage value. During the first week in January, Kirby flew two trips. The first trip was a round trip flight from Chicago to San Francisco, for which Kirby paid $350 for the pilot and $300 for fuel. The second flight was a round trip from Chicago to New York. For this trip, it paid $300 for the pilot and $150 for fuel. The round trip between Chicago and San Francisco is approximately 4,400 miles and the round trip between Chicago and New York is 1,600 miles.
