Calculate the NPV for the aircraft

 

Problem 14-39  Net Present Value, Uncertainty

Ondi Airlines is interested in acquiring a new aircraft to service a new route. The route will be from Tulsa to Denver. The aircraft will fly one round-trip daily except for scheduled mainte- nance days. There are 15 maintenance days scheduled each year. The seating capacity of the air- craft is 150. Flights are expected to be fully booked. The average revenue per passenger per flight (one-way) is $235. Annual operating costs of the aircraft follow:


 

Fuel

$1,750,000

Flight personnel

750,000

Food and beverages

100,000

Maintenance

550,000

Other

100,000

Total

$3,250,000

 

The aircraft will cost $120,000,000 and has an expected life of 20 years. The company requires a 12% return. Assume there are no income    taxes.

Required:

1.       Calculate the NPV for the aircraft. Should the company buy it?

2.       In discussing the proposal, the marketing manager for the airline believes that the assump- tion of 100% booking is unrealistic. He believes that the booking rate will be somewhere between 70 and 90%, with the most likely rate being 80%. Recalculate the NPV by using an 80% seating capacity. Should the aircraft be purchased?

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                                                                                

3.       Calculate the average seating rate that would be needed so that NPV will equal zero.

4.       CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose that the price per passenger could be increased by 10% without any effect on demand. What is the average seating rate now needed to achieve a NPV equal to zero? What would you now recommend?
