profit, it refers to an excess of revenues over costs as a "surplus" and an excess of costs over revenues as a "deficit." LCT prices a
round-trip ticket to downtown at $2.90 per trip. The variable costs of a ride are $4.65. The fixed costs of LCT, primarily for its paid staff
and van leases, are $88,000 annually. The town of Lappin provides LCT with a flat subsidy, partially funded by downtown merchants,
of $148,600 annually plus a per-trip subsidy of $0.25.
