The Gourmand Cooking School runs short cooking courses at its small campus. Management has identified two cost drivers it uses in
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
Instructor wages
Classroom supplies
utilities
Campus rent
Insurance
Administrative expenses
Fixed Cost Cost per

For example, administrative expenses should be $3,600 per month plus $44 per course plus $6 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 58
students. The actual…

Howard Cooper, the president of Finch Computer Services, needs your help. He wonders about the potential effects on the firm's net
income if he changes the service rate that the firm charges its customers. The following basic data pertain to fiscal Year 1:
Standard rate and variable costs
Service rate per hour
Labor cost
Overhead cost
Selling, general, and administrative cost.
Expected fixed costs
Facility maintenance
Selling, general, and administrative
Required:
a. Prepare the pro forma income statement that would appear in the master budget if the firm expects to provide 28,000 hours of
services in Year 1.
b. A marketing consultant suggests to Mr. Cooper that the service rate may affect the number of service hours that the firm can
achieve. According to the consultant's analysis, if Finch charges customers $57 per hour, the firm can achieve 31,000 hours of
services. Prepare a flexible budget using the consultant's assumption.
c. The same consultant also suggests that if the firm…
