When preparing financial projections for a business plan part of the process is to be able to estimate fixed and variable costs.

High-Low Method. The city of Rockville reported the following annual cost data for maintenance work performed on its fleet of trucks.

Reporting Period (Year)	Total Costs	Level of Activity (Miles Driven)
Year 1	$ 750,000	225,000
Year 2	850,000	240,000
Year 3	1,100,000	430,000
Year 4	1,150,000	454,000
Year 5	1,250,000	560,000
Year 6	1,550,000	710,000

Scattergraph Method. Refer to the data in the previous exercise for the city of Rockville.

Use the scattergraph method to estimate total fixed costs per year and the variable cost per mile. State your results in the cost equation form Y = f + vX by filling in the dollar amounts for f and v.

What would the estimated costs be if the trucks drove 500,000 miles in year 7?
