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

• Use the high-low 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.
• What would the estimated costs be if the trucks drove 500,000 miles in year 7?
