Answer by proyaop(69)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'll calculate the total maintenance cost by adding up the cost of fuel, repairs, and the service contract.
Fixed expenses are the expenses that stay the same each month. I'll list the fixed expenses from the list you provided.
To calculate the total expenditure during February, I'll add up all the expenses listed.
Finally, I'll calculate the profit by subtracting the total expenditure from the total income.
```python?code_reference&code_event_index=3
# Create a dictionary to store the expenses
expenses = {
'fuel': 2875.49,
'repairs': 446.09,
'service contract': 120.00,
'taxi insurance': 805.45,
'taxi licence fee': 600.00,
'taxi driver salary': 5500.00,
'taxi associates': 50.00
}
# Calculate the total maintenance cost
total_maintenance_cost = expenses['fuel'] + expenses['repairs'] + expenses['service contract']
# Create a list of fixed expenses
fixed_expenses = ['service contract', 'taxi insurance', 'taxi licence fee', 'taxi driver salary', 'taxi associates']
# Calculate the total expenditure
total_expenditure = sum(expenses.values())
# Calculate the profit (assuming income is R28000 as provided)
income = 28000
profit = income - total_expenditure
# Print the results
print(f"1.1 Total expenditure on taxi maintenance: R{total_maintenance_cost:.2f}")
print("1.2 Fixed expenses:", fixed_expenses)
print(f"1.3 Total expenditure during February: R{total_expenditure:.2f}")
print(f"1.4 Profit (Income - Expenditure): R{profit:.2f}")
```
```text?code_stdout&code_event_index=3
1.1 Total expenditure on taxi maintenance: R3441.58
1.2 Fixed expenses: ['service contract', 'taxi insurance', 'taxi licence fee', 'taxi driver salary', 'taxi associates']
1.3 Total expenditure during February: R10397.03
1.4 Profit (Income - Expenditure): R17602.97
```
Based on my calculations:
* **1.1 Total expenditure on taxi maintenance:** R3441.58
* **1.2 Fixed expenses:**
* service contract
* taxi insurance
* taxi licence fee
* taxi driver salary
* taxi associates
* **1.3 Total expenditure during February:** R10397.03
* **1.4 Profit (Income - Expenditure):** R17602.97
