Resling Travel offers helicopter service from suburban towns to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Each of its 9 helicopters makes between 1,300 and 2,300 round-trips per year. The records indicate that a helicopter that has made 1,300 round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of $600 per round-trip, and one that has made 2,300 round-trips in the year incurs an average operating cost of $450 per round-trip. Required:
1. Using the high-low method, estimate the linear relationship y =a + bX , where y is the total annual operating cost of a helicopter and X is the number of round-trips it makes to JFK airport during the year.
2. Give examples of costs that would be included in a and in b.
3. If Reisen Travel expects each helicopter to make, on average, 1,200 round-trips in the coming year, what should its estimated operating budget for the helicopter fleet be?
