You work for Theo Walcott Tours Ltd which provide tourists and visitors with 'experiences' of Perth and its surrounds. Your manager is currently investigating introducing another product, which are 'Luxury' helicopter rides over beautiful bushland. Each trip would be 50km in total.

Helicopter rental per month: $20,000
Insurance per month (unlimited trips): $1,000
Pilot costs: $5,000 per month plus $100 per trip
Maintenance costs are difficult to estimate but data from a similar company in a different location shows that these monthly costs were $11,000 when 5,000 kms were flown and $5000 when 1,500 kms were flown.
