1. Metro Airlines runs 10 flights per day at a total cost of $50,000, which includes $30,000 in fixed costs for airport fees, airplanes, and the reservation system and $20,000 invariable costs for flight crews, fuel, baggage handlers, and food service. If an 11th flight would have 25 passengers, each paying $100, would it make economic sense to offer the flight? If a 12th flight only drew 15 passengers, would it make sense to offer it? Discuss and show your math.
