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 reportsthe 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 61 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the companys cost formulas appear below:

Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 2,970 Classroom supplies $ 310 Utilities $ 1,240 $ 80 Campus rent $ 5,000 Insurance $ 2,200 Administrative expenses $ 3,600 $ 41 $ 3

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $41 per course plus $3 per student. The companys sales should average $870 per student.

The company planned to run four courses with a total of 61 students; however, it actually ran four courses with a total of only 55 students. The actual operating results for September were as follows:

Actual Revenue $ 50,170 Instructor wages $ 11,160 Classroom supplies $ 18,760 Utilities $ 1,970 Campus rent $ 5,000 Insurance $ 2,340 Administrative expenses $ 3,373

Required:

Prepare a flexible budget performance report that shows both revenue and spending variances and activity variances for September. (Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)
