Taylor Smith owns a small clothing company, Cuteness for You, that offers an online subscription and personal shopping service targeted at busy families with children aged newborn to five years old. Currently, Taylor has one level of subscription service, the standard service. For $100 a month, the standard service provides its customers a monthly delivery of 10 clothing items carefully chosen to match the child's size, gender, and emerging style.

Suppose the following costs for a 10-hour round-trip flight apply to the time frame and expenses of an unscheduled 5-hour charter flight from Baltimore to Las Vegas (and return the next day) on a seven-year-old Boeing 737–800 with 120 occupied seats. Some costs listed in the table have been aggregated up to the flight level from a seat-level decision where they are incurred. Others have been allocated down to the flight level from an entry/exit or maintain-ownership company-level decision. Still other costs vary with the go/no go flight-level decision itself. Your job is to analyze each cost item and figure out the “behavior of cost”—that is, with which decision each cost varies. Fuel and landing fees =$5,200 Quarterly airframe maintenance re: FAA certificate = $1,000 Unscheduled engine maintenance per 10 flight hours =$1,200 Pro rata time depreciation for seventh year of airframe = $7,200 Flight pay for pilots per round-trip flight = $4,200 Long-term hangar facility lease = $6,600…
