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.

Answer:

arbitration

Explanation:

Arbitration occurs when the price of a security or a commodity varies significantly between different markets. For example, I purchase gold in the United Kingdom at a lower price than in the United States, and I bring it to the United States and make a profit. Arbitration opportunities result from market inefficiencies and a lack of a single price.

According to the marginal productivity theory of income
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The income received by an individual who supplies labor services equals the incremental benefit generated to the firm by the individual´s labor

Explanation:

The marginal productivity theory of income or wages states:  firms pay a salary that is equal to the extra benefit a (that is why is marginal; an extra unit in this case is an extra unit of labor) worker represents in output of production. In other words, if the firm employees a new worker, its salary would be equal to the extra output produced by him or her (marginal product of labor). Because of this, wages depend on the production function each firm has. The mathematical formula to get the marginal product of labor is: dF/dL, where F is the production function and L represent labor in it.
