TransPacific Airlines (TPA) budgeted 145 million passenger miles, or 5% of the total market for the year just completed, at a contribution margin of 105 cents per mile. The budgeted average price was 78 cents per passenger mile. The operating data for the year show that TPA flew 125.28 million passenger miles with an average price of 74 cents per passenger mile. The terrorist activity in the early part of the year in several countries in the region decreased the total miles flown by all airlines for the year by 10%. There is no flexible-budget variance for all costs.
