The City of Mirada wants to offer cable television to its residents in 2013. The city has approached a company called CableVision to run its cable operations. After negotiating with key parties, CableVision has made the following agreements:

• Mirada will offer its residents a basic set of 25 cable television stations at a rate of $33.99 per month (all of the revenue will go to CableVision).
• The City of Mirada will maintain the physical facilities, and CableVision will pay the city $1,400,000 per year plus $4.00 per cable subscriber per month.
• CableVision will actually pay another company to broadcast the 25 channels and will pay this company a monthly fixed fee of $55,000 plus a monthly amount of $9.00 per cable subscriber per month.

CableVision will incur additional operating costs for billing, program news mailings, etc. These costs will include a fixed component of $120,000 per month, and a variable component of 7.0% of monthly revenue. CableVision has several questions about its monthly revenues, costs, and profits in 2013.
