The Little Theatre is a nonprofit organization devoted to staging plays for children. The theater has a very small full-time professional administrative staff. Through a special arrangement with the actors’ union, actors and directors rehearse without pay and are paid only for actual performances.

The Little Theatre had tentatively planned to put on six different productions with a total of 108 performances. For example, one of the productions was Peter Rabbit, which had a six-week run with three performances on each weekend. The costs from the current year’s planning budget appear below.

The Little Theatre
Costs from the Planning Budget
For the Year Ended December 31
Budgeted number of productions 6
Budgeted number of performances 108
Actors and directors wages $ 250,560
Stagehands wages 66,960
Ticket booth personnel and ushers wages 50,760
Scenery, costumes, and props 109,920
Theater hall rent 88,560
Printed programs 61,560
Publicity 13,920
Administrative expenses 47,520
Total $ 689,760

Some of the costs vary with the number of productions, some with the number of performances, and some are fixed and depend on neither the number of productions nor the number of performances. The costs of scenery, costumes, props, and publicity vary with the number of productions. It doesn’t make any difference how many times Peter Rabbit is performed, the cost of the scenery is the same. Likewise, the cost of publicizing a play with posters and radio commercials is the same whether there are 10, 20, or 30 performances of the play. On the other hand, the wages of the actors, directors, stagehands, ticket booth personnel, and ushers vary with the number of performances. The greater the number of performances, the higher the wage costs will be. Similarly, the costs of renting the hall and printing the programs will vary with the number of performances. Administrative expenses are more difficult to analyze, but the best estimate is that approximately 75% of the budgeted costs are fixed, 15% depend on the number of productions staged, and the remaining 10% depend on the number of performances.

After the beginning of the year, the board of directors of the theater authorized expanding the theater’s program to seven productions and a total of 168 performances. Not surprisingly, actual costs were considerably higher than the costs from the planning budget. (Grants from donors and ticket sales were also correspondingly higher, but are not shown here.) Data concerning the actual costs appear below:

Theater hall rent 127,600
Printed programs 87,900
Publicity 18,300
Administrative expenses 52,400
Total $ 1,033,600

Required:

1. Prepare a flexible budget for The Little Theatre based on the actual activity of the year.

2. Prepare a report for the year that shows the spending variances for all expense items.
