After several months of using such variance reports, the owner has become frustrated. For example, she is quite confident that instructor wages were very tightly controlled in August, but the report shows an unfavorable variance. |
Â
The planning budget was developed using the following formulas, where q is the number of lessons sold: |
Â
 |  |
Revenue | $225q |
Instructor wages | $62q |
Aircraft depreciation | $57q |
Fuel | $21q |
Maintenance | $ 670 + $13q |
Ground facility expenses | $1,640 + $4q |
Administration | $4,210 + $1q |
Â
Required: | |
2. |
Complete the flexible budget performance report for the school for August. (Input all amounts as positive values. Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Omit the "$" sign in your response.) |
