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

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.

Begin with the breakeven point in units. Enter the formula, then compute the breakeven point. $($Round your final answers up to the nearest whole

number. For amounts with a $$0$ balance, make sure to enter $"0"$ in the appropriate input field.$)$

Now compute the breakeven point in sales dollars. Enter the formula, then compute the breakeven sales. $($Enter the contribution margin ratio as a

whole percent. For amounts with a $$0$ balance, make sure to enter $"0"$ in the appropriate input field.$)$
