The ticket is SBB's, not ZVV's: Zürich Flughafen to Zug, CHF 22.00 an adult, CHF 11.00 for a child of 6 to 15 or with a Half-Fare card, under-6s free. It is cheaper than the CHF 31.00 to Lucerne, which the same IR75 goes on to.

The S24 is the all-day train, every half hour; the IR75 is faster but runs hourly at weekends and has gaps on weekdays. The ticket is valid on either.

The full fare is fixed; the "Supersaver" for one named train is cheaper, demand-priced and refused on any other train, so it is not priced here.
