Assume the plane has a salvage value at end of year 10 of


Southwest Airlines (SWA) is planning to expand its fleet of jets to replace some old planes and to expand its routes. It has received a proposal from Boeing to purchase 112 737's over the next 4 years. What annual net revenue must each jet produce to break even on its operating cost? The analysis should be done by finding the EUAC for the 10-year planned ownership period. SWA has a MARR of 12%, purchases the jet for $22 million, has operating and maintenance costs of $3.2 million the first year, increasing 8% per year, and performs a major maintenance upgrade costing $4.5M at end of Year 5. Assume the plane has a salvage value at end of Year 10 of $13 million. Contributed by Paul R. McCright, University of South Florida.
