    The contribution margin is $1.244.000

    Explanation:

    The contribution margin is the difference between the incomes and the variable cost

    CM=Sales (incomes) - variable cost

    In the case New York / Chicago

    Ticket price $750

    Passengers 12000

    Miles flown 97600

    Incomes = Ticket price*Passengers=$750*12000=$9.000.000

    To get the Variable cost

    Fuel ($25 per mile) = cost * miles=25*97600=2440000

    Wages ($45 per mile) = $45*97600=4392000

    Food/beverage service ($7 per passenger) = 7*12000=84000

    Selling ($70 per passenger) = 70*12000=840000

    TOTAL: 7756000

    CM=Sales (incomes) - variable cost = $9.000.000

    -7756000=$1.244.000
