Simply have the ROIC as “the root” of the tree instead of profits. Then answer the question: Q1: What is the current number of customers that are served each year? Assume that FastBus operates 365 days per year and that each customer buys only one one-way ticket per person. Q2: What is the current ROIC? (Please give your answer in decimal form. For example, 0.25 for 25%) Q3; What is the minimum load factor at which the company breaks even? (Please give your answer in decimal form. For example, 0.25 for 25%)
