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. Prepare the company’s planning budget for September. 2. Prepare the company’s flexible budget for September. 3. Calculate the revenue and spending variances for September.
