Case Study 1 Springfield Express is a luxury passenger carrier in Texas. All seats are first class, and the following data are available: Number of seats per passenger train car 90 Average load factor (percentage of seats filled) 70% Average full passenger fare $ 160 Average variable cost per passenger $ 70 Fixed operating cost per month $3,150,000 a. What is the break-even point in passengers and revenues per month? Contribution Margin/Passenger = 160 -70 Contribution margin ratio = 160- 70/ 160 Break Even Points in Units = (Total Fixed Costs + Target Profit )/Contribution Margin Break-even for passengers: (3,150,000 + 0) / (160-70):35000 Break Even Points in Sales = (Total Fixed Costs + Target Profit )/Contribution Margin Ratio Break-even for revenues: (3,150,000 + 0)/ (90/160): $5,600,000 b. What is the break-even point in number of passenger train cars per month?

If no dividends are paid in a given year, enter "0". Preferred dividends are paid before common dividends. With cumulative preferred dividends, if there are any dividends in arrears, they must be made up before common stockholders receive dividends. 25,000 x 2% x 130 = $65,000 dividends owe to preferred shareholders each year. 1st year 43,500 paid Preferred: 43,500 / 25,000 = $1.74 per share.

This equates to the mean or average age of the females surveyed was 30.1 years old. To find the median I will do a data array process: 25 25 26 28 28 29 35 35 40. In this equation I can see that the median age of the females is 28 which is actually two years less than the mean or average age. Next I will find the mode of the ages for the females: 25 25 26 28 28 29
