Live It Cruiseline offers nightly dinner cruises departing from several cities on the

eastern coast of the United States including Charleston, Baltimore, and Alexandria.

Dinner cruise tickets sell for $$50$ per passenger. Live It Cruiseline's variable cost of

providing the dinner is $$20$ per passenger, and the fixed cost of operating the

vessels $($depreciation$,$ salaries, docking fees, and other expenses$)$ is $$270,000$ per

month. Under these conditions, the breakeven point in tickets is $9,000$ and the

breakeven point in sales dollars is $$450,000.$

Suppose Live It Cruiseline cuts its dinner cruise ticket price from $$50$ to

$$40$ to increase the number of passengers. Compute the new breakeven

point in units and in sales dollars. Explain how changes in sales price

generally affect the breakeven point.

Assume that Live It Cruiseline does not cut the price. Live It Cruiseline

could reduce its variable costs by no longer serving an appetizer before

dinner. Suppose this operating change reduces the variable expense

from $$20$ to $$10$ per passenger. Compute the new breakeven point in

units and in dollars. Explain how changes in variable costs generally
