Blue Yonder Airlines overbooked a flight from Seattle to New York with a capacity of 250 people but sold 270 tickets. The airline will earn a profit of $300 per ticket sold up to 250 passengers but must pay $350 in compensation for each additional passenger over the 250 capacity. The variable cost per passenger is $30 so the airline's profit depends on how many of the 270 ticket holders show up for the flight.
