28. Company Alpha buys free-travel coupons from people who are awarded the coupons by Bravo Airlines for flying frequently on Bravo airplanes. The coupons are sold to people who pay less for the couponsthan they would pay by purchasing tickets from Bravo. This marketing of coupons results in lost revenue for Bravo.

To discourage the buying and selling of free-travel coupons, it would be best for Bravo Airlines to restrict the

(A) number of coupons that a person can be awarded in a particular year
(B) use of the coupons to those who were awarded the coupons and members of their immediate families
(C) days that the coupons can be used to Monday through Friday
(0) amount of timethat the coupons can be used after they are issued
(E) number of routes on which travelers can use the coupons

Evaluation of a Plan
Situation A company that buys and sells travel coupons reduces the revenue of an airline. The airline wants to discourage the tra de in coupons.

B Correct. Thi s statement properly identifies a limitation that makes the sale of coupons useless
while maintaining th e coupons' value as a reward.
C Limiting the time of use to weekdays does not discourage resale and makes the coupons less
valuable to the airline's customers.
D Imposing a date by which the coupons must be used does not discourage resale and diminishes
the coupons' value as a reward.
E Restri ct ing the routes available docs not d iscourage resale but does reduce the coupons' value as a
