Two new rides are being compared by a local amusement park in terms of their annual operating costs. The two rides would generate the same level of revenue (thus the focus on costs). The Tummy Tugger has fixed costs of $10,000 per year and variable costs of $2.50 per visitor. The Head Buzzer has fixed costs of $4000 per year and variable costs of $4 per visitor.
