The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses for budgeting purposes - the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, the school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 64 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company's cost formulas appear below:
