**Munoz Educational Services Case Study: Budget Analysis**

Munoz Educational Services had budgeted its training service charge at $69 per hour. The company originally planned to provide 31,000 hours of training services during the year. By lowering the service charge to $63 per hour, the company was able to increase the actual number of hours to 32,800.

**Required Analysis**

1. **Determine the sales volume variance** and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Select "None" if there is no effect, i.e., zero variance.)

2. **Determine the flexible budget variance** and indicate whether it is favorable (F) or unfavorable (U). (Select "None" if there is no effect, i.e., zero variance.)

3. **Evaluate the decision's profitability** by analyzing whether lowering the price of training services increased revenue.

**Summary Table**

| Variance                        |          |
|---------------------------------|----------|
| a. Volume variance              |          |
| b. Flexible budget variance     |          |
| c. Was the decision profitable? |          |
