Velazques Jeep Tours operates jeep tours in the heart of the Colorado Rockies. The company bases its budgets on two measures of activity (i.e., cost drivers), namely guests and jeeps. One vehicle used in one tour on one day counts as a jeep. Each jeep has one tour guide. The company uses the following data in its budgeting:

	Fixed element per month			Variable element per guest			Variable element per jeep
Revenue	$	0		$	92		$	0
Tour guide wages	$	0		$	0		$	101
Vehicle expenses	$	4,000		$	9		$	53
Administrative expenses	$	1,000		$	1		$	0

In March, the company budgeted for 356 guests and 129 jeeps. The company's income statement showing the actual results for the month appears below:
