Taylor' Swifty Cleaners is considering adding coin-operated dry cleaning machines. Taylor estimates that one hundred customers would use each machine each day. If she buys one machine, she will pay a daily fixed cost of $2,200 If she buys two machines, she will pay a daily fixed cost of $3,700. Each customer would incur a variable cost of $20, and for each customer, Taylor would receive $45 in revenue.

One machine Two machines
