Today is June 15, 2020, I would like to have a better understanding of the companys pre-tax operating income given different # of snowfalls; a low year (9 snowfalls), an average year (13 snowfalls) and the highest year recorded (33 snowfalls). I have collected weather data for the last 20 years (Appendix I), and noted the probability data and sensitivity analysis can be used to estimate a long-term expected operating income.

APPENDIX I

PROBABILITY OF SNOWFALL

Number of Snowfalls	Probability
0-10	20%
11-25	75%
26 or more	5%

Income Statement

1 Truck drivers wages, truck rental, and gasoline costs are directly correlated to the number of snowfalls. RRS pays for the truck rentals per use. All other expenses are independent of the number of snowfalls.

2 RSS owns its head office. The annual depreciation expense for the head office is $8,000 and is included in office and parking lot-related costs.

Additional Information;

RSS has 1,300 customers who pay a $400 flat rate for the season regardless how much it snows.

RSS pays its drivers a daily rate of $300.

RSS leased 30 snow removal trucks.

RSS had 27 snowfalls from Nov 2019 to March 2020.

Comments: The income statement and additional information are provided only if the "Expert" requires them to solve the question, otherwise the way the question was presented was the first paragraph and Appendix I.

Comment 2: I am sorry, I do not understand what you are asking for, all the information above was all that was provided.
