Question: Costco is running a member - only sales program for Carnival cruise vacation. There are totally 6 0 0 cabins on the cruise ship. Fixed

Costco is running a member-only sales program for Carnival cruise vacation. There are totally 600 cabins on the cruise ship. Fixed cost is $15,000(includes fuel cost for roundtrip, salary for crews and staff, etc). Variable cost per cabin is $200 per room per round trip (includes utility cost, food cost, room service, etc)
If you charge customers $500 per cabin, what is the breakeven point? (That is, how many cabins must be sold for the program to break even?)
Costco has another optional program to sell for Crown Cruise vacation. The fixed cost for Crown Cruise is $18000 per round trip, and the variable cost is $220 per cabin. You will, however, be able to charge $570 per cabin. At what point will you be indifferent between Carnival and Crown?
For Carnival Cruise, if the demand for cabins depends on the price as follows: Demand (D)=2000-5***p; where "p" is the price charged to the customers. What price would recommend charging for a cabin?
Based on your suggestion of price from the previous question (Q3), would the cruise be full? At the suggested price, what would be the demand and what would be the profit for Costco?
 Costco is running a member-only sales program for Carnival cruise vacation.
