Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) has just opened a new route connecting major tourist sites around Philadelphia.
The Independence Line has the following data
• A capital investment of $63 million,
• An expected operating and maintenance expenses of $11 milfon per year
• The final salvage value at the end of a 30-year life is negligible
• Revenue generated by each customer is $11.
• Assume there are 365 days in a year
• The MARR is 6% compounded annualy
What is the total annual cost of this route?
How many riders per day are needed for this route to break even?
Please help. I don't understand how to calculate A/P.

Bell’s had a multiyear contract with Expo Center. The ride cost $1.35 million, installed. Gross income from the ride was $420,000 per year, with operating expenses of $120,000. Bell’s anticipated that the ride would have a useful life of 12 years, after which the net salvage value would be $0. After 4 years, the city and Bell’s were unable to come to an agreement regarding an extended contract. In order to expedite Bell’s departure, Expo Center agreed to purchase the ride and leave it in place.
