Changing the Cost Formula for a Month to the Cost Formula for a Year

During the past year, the high and low use of three different resources for Fly High Airlines occurred in July and April. The resources are airplane depreciation, fuel, and airplane maintenance. The number of airplane flight hours is the driver. The total costs of the three resources and the related number of airplane flight hours are as follows:

Resource	Airplane Flight Hours			Total Cost
Airplane depreciation:
High	44,000			$ 18,900,000
Low	28,000			$ 18,900,000
Fuel:
High	44,000			445,896,000
Low	28,000			283,752,000
Airplane maintenance:
High	44,000			16,096,000
Low	28,000			11,912,000

Required:

If required, round calculations and answers to nearest dollar.

1. Develop an annual cost formula for airplane depreciation.

Total annual cost of airplane depreciation = x ( $ )

Develop an annual cost formula for fuel.

Total annual cost of fuel = $ Annual number of airplane flight hours

Develop an annual cost formula for airplane maintenance.

Total annual cost of airplane maintenance = ( x $ ) + ( $ Annual number of airplane flight hours )

2. Using the three annual cost formulas that you developed, predict the cost of each resource in a year with 487,000 airplane flight hours.
