The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in its budgeting and performance reports-the number of courses and the total number of students. For example, school might run two courses in a month and have a total of 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company's cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost Cost Cost per per per Month Course Student $2,910 $280 80 Instructor wages Classroom supplies Utilities Campus rent Insurance Administrative expenses $1,210 $ $5, 100 $2,300 $3,800 $ 46 $ 4 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,800 per month plus $46 per course plus $4 per student. The company's sales should average $860 per student. The company planned to run four courses with a total of 62 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 56 students. The actual operating results for September appear below: Actual Revenue $50, 420 Instructor wages $10,920 Classroom supplies $17, 210 Utilities $ 1,940 Campus rent $ 5,100 Insurance $ 2,440 Administrative $ 3,658 expenses Required: Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September.
