    Answer: $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile

    Steps:

    While the cost of car = $5,000.00 is not an operating cost, the annual decrease of value is. So, given that the market value after 1 year = $3,800, the value loss is 5000-3800=$1200 for the year.

    Add cost of gas and oil = $750.00, Repairs/Maintenance = $250.00, Insurance = $300.00, to get $2500 total operating cost.

    The cost per mile is $2500/17500 miles = $0.1428/mi or about 14 cents per mile
