    it says,.The table below shows management accounts extract for an airline company.

    Accounts extracts,
    Turnover 16800000pounds
    Variable cost 8400000pounds
    Fixed cost 6310 150 pounds
    Seats
    Occupied 240000
    Available 300000

    Assume gross profit exclude fixed costs
    show all percentages to 2 decimal places
    show other numbers to the nearest whole number

    Then you are to calculate the table i attached first.

    Ok so below are the workings..

    Selling price per seat is turnover / occupied seats
    Occupancy rate is occupied seats/ available seats x 100
    Variable costs per occupied seat is variable costs / occupied seat
    Gross profit margin is turnover amount/ sales ( occupied seats x selling price) x 100
    Fixed costs per occupied seat is fixed costs / occupied seats
    Contribution per seat is Turnover - variable costs - fixed costs then divide by 300
    Breakeven number of seats is total fixed costs divided by contribution (worked out in the above question)
    Breakeven in turnover use the above answer and times by selling price per seat workout above.
    Margin of safety sales - breakeven point worked out above then divide by sales again x 100
    Mark up on total cost is turnover - variable costs and fixed costs then divide answer by variable costs and fixed costs added together.

    You have put too many zero's above on the figures, I have checked this on the mock exam.

    Thank you :)
