Planet Airways has been given a 5-year license to start a budget airline between Stardust and Sundown. This service requires two planes which cost $6.5 million each, payable in one year’s time. Each aircraft will make one daily return trip, allowing for 350 flyable days per year. The remaining days of the year will be used to service the planes. The capacity of each plane is 200 passengers and the price per ticket is $550 per return trip. The average passenger load is 80 percent. The carrier’s office building will cost $26 million.

ABC Residential Investors, LLP, is considering the purchase of a 120-unit apartment complex in Steel City, Pennsylvania. A market study of the area reveals that an average rental of $614 per month per unit could be realized in the appropriate market area. During the last six months, two very comparable apartment complexes have been sold in the same market area. The Oaks, a 140-unit project, sold for $9 million.
