The Royal Blue schooner sails in the Us Virgin Island during the winter.
The average cruise has 45 tourists on board, and each person pays $75
for a day’s sail. The ship sails 80 days each year. The Royal Blue

The crew is paid only when the ship sails. The other variable expense is
for refreshments, which average $14 per passenger per cruise. annual
fixed expenses total $66,000.

Compute revenue and variable expenses for each cruise.

Use the income statement equation approach to compute the number of
cruises the Royal Blue must make each year to break even.

Use the contribution margin approach to compute the number of cruises
needed each year to earn $$85, 000. Is this profit goal realistic? Give
your reason.

Prepare the royal Blue contribution margin income statement for 80
