Eagle Airlines is a small airline that occasionally carries overload shipments for the overnight delivery company Never-Fail Inc. Never-Fail is a multimillion-dollar company started by Peter Never immediately after he failed to finish his first accounting course. The company’s motto is “We Never-Fail to Deliver Your Package on Time.” When Never-Fail has more freight than it can deliver, it pays Eagle to carry the excess. Eagle contracts with independent pilots to fly its planes on a per trip basis. Eagle recently purchased an airplane that cost the company \($6,000,000\) . The plane has an estimated useful life of 100,000,000 miles and a zero salvage value. During the first week in January, Eagle flew two trips. The first trip was a round trip flight from Chicago to San Francisco, for which Eagle paid \($500\) for the pilot and \($350\) for fuel. The second flight was a round trip from Chicago to New York. For this trip, it paid \($300\) for the pilot and \($150\) for fuel. The round trip between Chicago and San Francisco is approximately 4,400 miles and the round trip between Chicago and New York is 1,600 miles.
