Linen (one-time fee): $10
Air flight Ticket: $130 - $190
Fixed Cost + Variable Cost = Total Cost
SGA Contribution: $2700
Therefore,
$40 per room x 9 rooms x 3 nights = $1080. (FIXED)
$10 one-time fee for linen x 18 people = $180 (FIXED)
$150 air flight ticket (est.) x 18 = $2700 (VARIABLE)
$3960 – $2700 = $1260/18 people = $70 per person
