After several months of using these reports, the owner has become frustrated. For example, she is quite confident that instructor wages were very tightly controlled in July, but the report shows an unfavorable variance.
The planning budget was developed based on the following information. Variable costs (and the variable component of mixed costs) vary based on the number of lessons sold. (Hint: To get the variable component of the mixed cost, subtract the fixed amount from the total and divide by the number of units in the planning budget.)

Required:
2.Complete the flexible budget performance report for the school for July. (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.)
