The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses i

n its budgeting and performance reports—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 62 students enrolled in those two courses. Data concerning the company’s cost formulas appear below: Fixed Cost per Month Cost per Course Cost per Student Instructor wages $ 2,960 Classroom supplies $ 270 Utilities $ 1,220 $ 75 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,300 Administrative expenses $ 3,900 $ 44 $ 7 For example, administrative expenses should be $3,900 per month plus $44 per course plus $7 per student. The company’s sales should average $890 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 $ 52,280 Instructor wages $ 11,120 Classroom supplies $ 16,590 Utilities $ 1,930 Campus rent $ 4,800 Insurance $ 2,440 Administrative expenses $ 3,936 Required: 1.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

(c) Interview customers to get their opinion about the checkout process  

Explanation:

Customers are those who buy goods or receive services from a business owner. Customers may sometimes not be the consumers because the customers may buy from the company and sell to other people to consume. The customers may also be the consumers at times when they consume what they bought. If customers do not buy from the business owners, they won't be consumers, thou consumers are gods in today's market and life wire of any business.Once customers are satisfied with the products and services provided to them by the company, they will continue to patronize the company and never substitute it for another company.Most companies start having problems or loose customers due to  nonsatisfaction of goods and services render by the company. Therefore, interviewing the customers to get their opinion about the checkout process is the best approach for gaining more insight into the problem because they are in the best position to state why they are not patronising the company's product again.
