For this month, the company estimated its contribution margin would amount to 20 cents per passenger-mile and that 40 million passenger-miles would be flown. As a result of improvement in the economy, 43 million passenger-miles were flown this month. The price per passenger-mile averaged 30.3 cents. The budgeted variable cost per mile was 10 cents. Subsequent analysis by management indicated that the industry flew 7 percent more passenger-miles this month than expected.
